          Em    Em/D  C
When you leave
         D/F#          G    G#dim  Am
There’s cordite in the air
   B7/F#           Emadd9   Emadd9  F#m7b5
A ringing in the stillness
        B7/F#           Emadd9  Emadd9  Emadd9
Smoke drifting up the stair
          F#m7b5  F#m7b5  B7/F#
When you leave

          Em    Em/D  Cmaj7
When you leave
    D/F#              G     G#dim  Am
My heart sounds in my ears
   B7/F#          Em       Em  F#m7b5
A beating in the darkness
    B7/F#        Emadd9    Em
A trace of you still here
          F#m7b5  B7/F#  Em  Em
When you leave


 F#m7b5         Am/C
Like it or not
 F#m7b5        B7     Em   B7         Em  Em
How could I not have fallen for you?
     Am                  Am/G
And now that I’m caught
 F#m7b5        Am/E       B7#9/F#  B7b9/F#  B7/F#
How could I not be blue?

I’ll hear the smallest sound
     B7             Emadd9  Emadd9  F#m7b5
And turn to look behind me
     B7                  Emadd9  Em/G  Emadd9/D  C#m7b5
As though you’re still around
