Verse 1:
C                   G
Don't go saying I'm leaving you
F                                         C
Thinking I never got close enough to stay
                 G
Time runs in and then runs out
F                                          C
Starts again and it's always been that way
G
You're going to drown tomorrow
       C            F                   C
If you cry too many tears for yesterday
                   G
Tomorrow's half of all you've got, so
F                                               C
Treat him good, cause when I'm gone, he'll stay

Verse 2:
            G
I won't be forgetting you
F                                  C
You won't be forgetting me, I know
                  G
If memory comes a summer cloud
F                                    C
Rains her sweetness down to me below
  G
I see you like you look right now
C              F               C
Made me wonder why I had to go
                  G
But Heaven is the way she is
F
Rain falls and rivers flow

C G F

Verse 3:
C            G
So here's to feeling good
F                         C
And here's to feeling bad
                G
Here's to being thankful
F                                   C
Sorry for the pleasures that we had
    G
And autumn days, and window panes
C               F                    C
God, forgive us if you feel deceived
                         G
The clock don't know you like I do
F
And it's only him or me you got to believe

C G F
