🎸 Verse 1:
  FF          C majorC       A minorAm
We swore that we would stand alone together
   G+G         DmDm
And I hate to make you a liar
   C majorC        A minorAm    G+G
But I saw this coming all along

FF       C majorC       A minorAm
I fear there's nowhere we can go from here
G+G          DmDm
Hard to believe that sometimes
   C majorC          G+G
What feels right is wrong

🎸 Bridge 1:
  FF        C majorC
You say it's tearing you to bits
  A minorAm         G+G
But you don't know the half of it
  DmDm       c      A minorAm  G+G
I'm crumbling like paper in the rain

🎸 Chorus:
FF        C majorC
I don't want to leave you
    A minorAm       G+G
But the wind is howling loud
  DmDm       C majorC        A minorAm  G+G
And flowers die off in this kind of cold
FF        C majorC
I don't want to leave you
      A minorAm         G+G
But what I want hardly matters now
  DmDm       C majorC
I'd ask one favour of you
       A minorAm G+G
Please grow old

🎸 Instrumental:
FF C majorC A minorAm G+G
DmDm C majorC A minorAm G+G

🎸 Verse 2:
FF       C majorC         A minorAm
It's a welcome change for once to have
G+G
Someone to rely on
DmDm    C majorC         A minorAm      G+G
At least until it all comes tumbling down

🎸 Bridge 2:
   FF        C majorC
You don't understand all the fuss
      A minorAm         G+G
But there's bigger things than both of us
  DmDm         C majorC
If all this leaves you breathless
     A minorAm       G+G
Then I'd rather you keep breathing

  FF        C majorC
You say it's tearing you in two
  A minorAm          G+G
But you should know this tears me too
  DmDm      C majorC       A minorAm   G+G
I'm burning like dry fields set alight

   FF         C majorC
Your reckless days and sleepless nights
 A minorAm          G+G
I watched them as your satellite
  DmDm         C majorC
We danced around each other like
  A minorAm       G+G
Nothing could come between

  FF        C majorC
The only part I've come to hate
  A minorAm      G+G
It came with an expiry date
  DmDm        C majorC
The things we want forever
     A minorAm    G+G
Couldn't last the century

F*       C*
I don't want to leave you
       Am*       G*
Why can't I just stay in your arms?
Dm*      C*
Just a moment longer
      Am*  G*
What's the harm?

FF        C majorC
I don't want to leave you
      A minorAm         G+G
But what I want hardly matters now
  DmDm       C majorC
I'd ask one favour of you
      A minorAm       G+G
So if it's at all in your power
      FF C majorC A minorAm G+G
Please grow old
      DmDm C majorC A minorAm G+G
Please grow old

🎸 Outro:
FF        C majorC
I don't want to leave you
      A minorAm         G+G
But what I want hardly matters now
  DmDm       C majorC   A minorAm G+G
I'd ask one favour of you
