Intro: Am F Dm E }x2
Verse 1:
Am F
Well you drove off in the summer rain
Dm E
I waved to you like a sleeping dream
Am F Dm E
Told me to stay callous if someone bothered me
Am F
“The Eiffel Tower, the marching band
Dm E
But I’m sure you wouldn’t understand”
Am F Dm E
I just hope you don’t stay gone
Chorus: x2
Am F Dm E Am F Dm E
Don’t leave don’t leave this world to me
Verse 2:
I saw your mother in the department store
She looked innocent like a still-born
But all I could think about was the sting
Since you’ve gone nothing’s been the same
The wind don’t sing and the sky’s so dim
I’ve seen her staring up to it saying
Chorus: x2
Am F Dm E Am F Dm E
Don’t leave don’t leave this world to me
Verse 3:
Am F G E
When the winter calls to war
Am F G E
When the spring sets in once more
Am F G E
When the summer starts to sing
Am F G E
When the fall comes marching in
(x2)
Am F Dm E Am F Dm E
You’ll leave You’ll leave this world to me
