Intro:

N.C.
Now the days grow long
N.C.
And your hands and tears
N.C.
Are lost to the wind
A
Take me back, take me back
                   D
Let us walk by the shore
                    Dm
By the hand, by the hair
                A
I don't care anymore

With the world at your feet
                       D
Leave footprints on my back
                               G
I'll be the first, I'll be the last

Don't want to need to go back

A
Chewing gum and white wine

You know I hate to lose

And maybe that's why I've left you behind

Oh, against the bathroom tiles

I'm losing my mind

Babe, you know it ain't fair
              Dm
You leave me again
     A
He's waiting downstairs
