[Verse 1]
F C
Close your eyes and count to ten.

Take a minute, breathe it in.

Watch it mixing with the wind outside your window
F G
like salt into the ocean
F C
Back to wear I belong

Pedal down, a brand new song

Take one off to try one on 'cause there's no secret

to this life.

I love you but I'm leavin'.

I hope you figure out one day

what it is you're needin'

F C
Every little chord and tone

Ring 'em out stick by stone.

I know it used to be my home. It's far behind me

and I wont look back, no.
F C
Not even a second glance.

Water over dirty hands
F C C/B Am G D9
and though it doesn't make much sense right now, I'll let it

Just work out in the end.

I love you but I'm leavin'.

I hope you figure out one day

but if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay.

And though I don't owe an explanation,
C
you're kind of like sittin' too close to a fire.
F
I know a few feet would make it better
C
but this chair's so heavy, it's late, I'm gettin' tired.
G7
But long gone are the days where I stand by and wait
C C/B F
for you to just burn out or burn me up.
C G
So this is goodbye.
[Chorus]
F C G
I love you but I'm leavin'.
F C G Am
I hope you figure out one day
F C G Am
what it is you're needin'
F C G C
but if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay.
