[Verse 1]
AKindly dDisregard this one fAeeling
My Aclothes on the fDloor can be F#mmisleading
As sAoon as they're Dunpacked, they'll Eneed to be put back
To Ame, it always sEeems I am Aleaving
Yes, to Ame it aElways seems I am lAeaving
[Verse 2]
This Abed can Dbe dAecieving
'Cause my Atime here Dis so F#mfleeting
These Abones hold the lDoad of the oEpen Aroad
To mAe, it always Eseems I am lAeaving
Well, to mAe it just sEeems I am AleavingA7

As Dsoon as I arrive, I Amust say goodbye
ADll this despite my F#mpleading

Never Esay you're here to Astay

[Bridge]
ATangled Dfriends start Aunweaving
Like a thread from a qDuilt F#mreceding
AEven though I'm Dhome, I Efeel the most Aalone
To mAe, it always Eseems I am Aleaving
Well, to Ame it always Eseems I am AleavingA7

As sDoon as I arrive, I Amust say goodbye
ADll this despite my F#mpleading
TDhose relentless Amiles are never satisfied

There's no Apoint in Dgrieving, this Dpattern is just rF#mepeating
I've Aseen those tears Dbefore and there's Esomething I Aignore
To Ame it always Eseems I am Aleaving
Well, to Ame it always Eseems I am Agone
