CAPO 1
[Intro]
Dm C (3x)
[Verse 1]
Dm
All this time I'd never let you go
C
And now the same chains that I've kept you in are holding down my soul
Dm
I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
C
And now you knocked me down you shut me out and I can see it in your eyes
Bb C
Somehow you got it in your head, that you can make it on your own
Bb G
You were sheltered, loved, and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone
[Chorus]
Dm
Leave it alone, leave it alone
C
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Dm
Leave it alone, leave it alone
C G
Leave it alone, leave it alone
[Verse 2]
Dm
Well your heart was here, resting on my lap
C
and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back
Dm
Well I know I'm lying, lying in the cold
C
Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself, I'll be leaving down the road
Bb C
I've been all around the world but I've got nowhere to go
Bbm G
I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so
[Chorus]
Dm
Leave it alone, leave it alone
C
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Dm
Leave it alone, leave it alone
C G
Leave it alone, leave it alone
[Instrumental]
Dm C G
[Ooh section]
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
Oooooh, etc.
[Interlude]
Dm
The ghosts are on the green each and every night
C
Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take
Dm
That's the heart of all my pain lying in the cold
C G
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
[Ooh section]
Dm C Dm C G
Oooooh, etc.
[Interlude]
Dm
Could it all be over now? We've seen it all the while
C
There's no dimension to the clouds, and the moon and world around
Dm
That's the heart of all my pain, cause I don't wanna go
C G
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
[Ooh section]
Dm C Dm C G
Oooooh, etc.
(You can end on G, or you can repeat the last chords once or twice if you feel like that's better closure for
the song.)
