INTRO:

VERSE 1:

You're ready to go,

I fake a smile.

All that's between us now,

is just 3000 miles.

I move closer to you,

you cover your face.

You tried for months to make me notice,

that you'd rather stay.

So why is it so hard to tell you that

CHORUS 1:

G G7

I'm not leaving you here,

and I want you to know that I'm,

G G7

so sorry I hurt you.

You are the best thing in my life.

VERSE 2:

We kiss goodbye.

We've run out of time.

I leave you standing there all alone,

with strangers in line.

I walk out the door.

Then I run back inside.

Your plane is taking off into thin air,

but you stayed behind.

I pull you in my arms and tell you

CHORUS 2:

G G7

I'm not leaving you here,

and I want you to know that I'm

G G7

so sorry I hurt you.

You are the best thing in my life.

G G7 C9

Somehow I know we'll make it to the other side.

G G7

We can work it out.

You are the best thing in my life.
