G C G  C G  D  G

       G          C            GIt's a lesson too late for the learnin',
C       G   D         Gmade of sand, made of sand
                  C              GIn the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
C       G   D         Gin your hand, in your hand.

        D                  C           G Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C    Well, I could have loved you better,
       G                 didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               Gyou know that was the last thing on my mind.

           G         C          GYou've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
C      G   D        Gthis I know, this I know.
                        C        GFor the weeds have been steadily growin',
C            G  D             Gplease don't go, please don't go.

        D                  C           G Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C    Well, I could have loved you better,
       G                 didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               Gyou know that was the last thing on my mind.

                  C             GAs we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
C         G    D           Ground and round, round and round
                        C       GUnderneath our feet the subways rumblin',
C    G     D      Gunderground, underground

        D                  C           G Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C    Well, I could have loved you better,
       G                 didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               Gyou know that was the last thing on my mind.

               C          GAs I lie in my bed in the mornin',
C       G  D         Gwithout you, without you.
                 C             GEvery song in my breast lies a bornin',
C       G  D         Gwithout you, without you.

        D                  C           G Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C    Well, I could have loved you better,
       G                 didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               Gyou know that was the last thing on my mind.
