Leaving Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[C][F#]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
It [Em]takes a hell of a heart
To know what a [C]heart really needs
[G]And I'm finding out that love
Ain't what loves cut out to be
And if [Em]I was not my mamas boy
I'd leave you [C]crying in this car
Punch a [G]hole in your damn dashboard

[Interlude 1]
And forget the girl you are
[Em][C][G][G]

[Verse 2]
We've been [Em]fighting for so long
It'd be a [C]shame to let this go
But I'd [G]rather let it lie
Than hurt a sweet girl I know
[Em]And its getting dark now
So [C]won't you just stay
And I'll [G]tell you that I love you

[Interlude 2]
'Til the leaving goes away
[Em][C][G][G]

[Chorus 1]
'Til the [Em]leaving leaves this house
No, [C]we ain't going out
'Til I [G]make some promises that I can't keep
And I [Em]wish I could explain
how the [C]toxins in my brain
Get me [G]so damn down,
that sometimes I can't speak
And you'll [Em]try to understand
why I can't [C]be a better man
But it's [G]hard when I'm yelling
at you in the street
So if [Em]leaving comes to staying
And you [C]walk yourself away
Leave [G]knowing that no one could

[Intro 2]
Love you more than me
[G][C][G]
[C][F#]
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
And I [Em]hope the world don't mind
All the [C]simple things I ask
Like a [G]porch with good lighting
And to hear my lady laugh
[Em]And I'll act indifferent
Because [C]I don't want to leave
'Cause [G]leaving's for a younger man

[Interlude 3]
That I don't want to be
[Em][C][G][G]

[Chorus 2]
'Til the [Em]leaving leaves this house
No, [C]we ain't going out
'Til I [G]make some promises that I can't keep
And I [Em]wish I could explain
how the [C]toxins in my brain
Get me [G]so damn down,
that sometimes I can't speak
And you'll [Em]try to understand
why I can't [C]be a better man
But it's [G]hard when I'm yelling
at you in the street
So if [Em]leaving comes to staying
And you [C]walk yourself away
Leave [G]knowing that no one could

[Intro 3]
Love you more than me
[G][C][G]
[C][F#]
[G]
