[Verse 1]
G                 C            G
It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
C       G     D       G
Made of sand, made of sand
                  C              G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
C       G     D       G
In your hand, in your hand


[Chorus]
        D               C              G
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D
Will there be not a trace left behind
  C
I could have loved you better
       G       G/B  Em
Didn't mean to be unkind
    G                 D                G
You know that was the last thing on my mind


[Verse 2]
G                 C          G
You had reasons a-plenty for goin'
C      G     D      G
This I know, this I know
                        C        G
For the weeks have been steadily growin'
C            G   D            G
Please don't go, please don't go


[Chorus]
        D               C              G
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D
Will there be not a trace left behind
  C
I could have loved you better
       G       G/B  Em
Didn't mean to be unkind
    G                 D                G
You know that was the last thing on my mind

[Verse 3]
               C          G
As I lie on my bed in the mornin'
C       G    D       G
Without you, without you
                C             G
Each song in my breast dies a-bornin'
C       G    D       G
Without you, without you


[Out-Chorus]
        D               C              G
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?

You know that was the last thing on my mind

Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
