And when we do, it makes me wEonder if we’re even gonna gAet it rightE  Asus2  
When I think about leEavinAsus2g, I think about EmeAsus2  
What my lE5ife would be Emaj7like if I were C#5back to bB5eing fF#5reeB5

When I think about leaving... I think about me
You know I’ve got a friend and him and his wife just couldn’t see eye to eye
He had all he could stand one day and just packed up and said "goodbye"
When I think about leaving I think about him
And that little apartment ‘cross town he’s living in
Got an old Corvette got a new girlfriend
but he only sees his kids every other weekend
When I think about leaving, oh I think about him
I never will forget her face on the day she told me about her dad
EHow he walked out on hAsus2er mom when she was just a kAsus2idE  
When I think about lAeaviBng, oh I think about hEer
Only fAive years old and hBer heart filled up with hEurt
With her little aArms wrapped around his nBeck 
Saying "Daddy where you gC#moin’? Are you Bcomin’ bacAk?"
E(4)                   F#m                     B   E   Asus2   E  Asus2  
When I think about leaving, oh I think about her
You know the truth is most of the time things are really great
And I know we’ve got something special
When I think about leaving, I think about us
How we’re building this love we share on faith and trust
The honest way we talk, the tender way we touch
All those nights we spent makin’ love
When I think about leaving, oh I think about us
When I think about leaving, oh I think again
Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then
In my heart I know I would never leave
There’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
When I think about leaving, I think again
When I think about F#mleavingB  
When I think about C#mleaving
                       F#m                   Bintro
When I think about leaving, I think again
