C/G                   F
Laid blessings on the ground,
F                C/G
softening of sound
C/G             F
Draws us close again
C/G                      F
Stay, stay and watch the coals
F                  C/G
till they cease to glow
C/G              F
Like empty promises


[Chorus]

C/G     G              F
Wh......y, Why did you go, why
        C  G
did you go away?

C/G     G              F
Wh......y, Why did you go, why
        C  G
did you go away?
C/G      F   C/G  F       
Babe   


[Verse 2]

C/G                   F
There's nothing I can say
F                C/G
Nothing I can do
C/G            F
Bring you back again
C/G                       F
This of life I know is true
F                  C/G
It's all a falling through
C/G              F
And so I reach for you


[Chorus]

C/G     G              F
Wh......y, Why did you go, why
        C  G
did you go away?

C/G     G              F
Wh......y, Why did you go, why
        C  G
did you go away?


[Bridge]

Am        Em
Don't you care
Am     Em
It may seem unfair?
F                         C      G
Steal things you ought to borrow
Am        Em
Don't you find
Am     Em
It may seem unkind?
F                              C    G
Rather breathe than drown in sorrow


[Chorus]

C/G     G              F
Wh......y, Why did you go, why
        C  G
did you go away?

C/G     G              F
Wh......y, Why did you go, why
        C  G
did you go away?
C/G
Babe?
