Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Bb][F][C][Bb][F]
[C][Bb]

[Verse 1]
Ain’t [F]it funny how,
in a minute, your [C]whole life’s looking fine
And a [Bb]short few words later
it [C]all just comes untied?
[F]You can’t believe you’re looking at what was
[C]always someone else
[Bb]Now it’s staring right back at you,
yester[C]day you couldn’t tell
[F]So shock and disillusioned,
[C]helpless and confused
Not [Bb]knowing how and what to say,
not ac[C]cepting that it’s true.
You [F]can’t help but see the worst
to come a [C]thousand different ways
The [Bb]same time trying to hold a strong
and [C]optimistic [Bb]gaze.

[Verse 2]
When I saw you [C]leaving,
[Bb]when I saw you l[C]eaving[Bb]
When I saw you [C]leaving in [F]my
mind.
[C][Bb][F]

[Verse 3]
[C][Bb]
And the [F]angry starts to surface,
looking [C]up, asking why
Then you [Bb]realize he probably wants the [C]best,
as same as I
[F]Days just go by quickly,
[C]nights just never end
As [Bb]time gets so more precious,
every [C]sunrise and old friend
Trying to [F]be a post to lean on,
a part [C]you learn is hard to play
Asking [Bb]God to let you take her place
or just [C]take it all away.
Hope [F]you’ll wake up in the morning,
was [C]all just been a dream
You [Bb]never take for granted every
[C]second that [Bb]you breathe.

[Verse 4]
When I saw you [C]leaving,
[Bb]when I saw you l[C]eaving
[Am]When[Bb] I saw you leaving i[C]n my mind.[F]
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Gm][Bb][C]
[G][D][Am][C]
[D]

[Verse 5]
And the [G]seconds turn to minutes
And [D]minutes wouldn’t last
And the [G]hours,
days and weeks and months
Seem [D]endless and too fast
And the [G]blessings poured
from Heaven
Like the [D]rain on that first spring
Since that [G]mo ment I [C]first saw you
You [D]might not always be with [C]me.

[Verse 6]
When I saw you [D]leaving,
[C]when I saw you[D] leaving[G]
[C]When I saw you[Am] lea[D]ving in [G]my mind,
[D]in [C]my min[G]d.[D][C]

[Verse 7]
Ain’t it [G]funny how, in a minute,
your [D]whole life’s looking fine
And a [G]short few words later
[C]it all just com[D]es untied?
