[Verse 1]
CI’m leavin’ for the last time
DmDon’t need this lonely pastime
GStumblin’ through the words
CI know you’re waitin’ up to hear
C7I’m packin’ up my suitcase
FPacked full of bright tomorrows
DIf I can’t share your love
GI just won’t G7sit and G6wear your G5sorrows
COne more Gachin’ Cday
[Verse 2]
CI don’t know where we lost it
DmI don’t know where the love went
GWhere the hope was all spent
CAnd the sweetness turned to pain
C7We cried and cried our grievin’
