Lyrics to When People Go :

D A Em G

Intro:

When people go,

when people leave,

make some people cry,

make some people drink.

When people go,

when people leave,

Em G

it's the saddest thing.

When people go,

is it like they're asleep?

lost to the world,

in the longest dream.

Like when boats at sea,

never come back,

Em G

is it like that?

I think it's going to be,

another long night,

i think it's going to be,

another long ride.

When people go,

when people leave,

make some people cry,

make some people drink.

When people go,

when people leave,

Em G

it's the saddest thing.

A Em G D

[ ]

Dizzy in the head,

broke in the heart,

there's no business,

it's all art.

Until it's far behind,

and it all comes back,

G D A Em

when people go it's so sad, so sad, so sad,

D A Em

so sad, so sad, so sad.

D A Em

[ ]

And goodnight,

and go home,

Em G D

and there is nothing more to see,

just a song,

in a box,

some need to cry,

and please,

find a friend,

have a drink,

and go home,

taking two,

empty hearts,

go to bed and,

go to bed and.

Well goodnight,

go home,

Em G D

there is nothing more to see,

my friend,

have a drink,

go to bed,

D A

and tell them, how

that you need them,

G D A Em G

hold them hold them tight,

D A Em G

[ ] x2

D A Em G
