         C       G4   Am          
Leave the bright blue door on the 
F          G
whitewashed wall
          C    G4  Am       F    
Leave the death ledger under city 
G
hall
         Am  C/B  C          F  
Leave the joyful air in that 
    G       C
rubber ball today

Gsus4 - Am - F - G

Leave the lilac print on the linen 
sheet
Leave the bird you killed at your 
father's feet
Let the sideways rain in the crooked
 street remain

Leave whimpering dog in his cold 
kennel
Leave the dead starlet on her 
pedestal
Leave the acid kids in their green 
fishbowls today

Leave the sad guitar in its 
hardshell case
Leave that worried look on your 
lover's face
Let the orange embers in the 
fireplace remain

Am                     F
Everything must belong somewhere
    Am                        
The train off in the distance, 
         F              G
bicycle chained to the stairs
Am   C/B  C           F        G
Everything must belong somewhere
  F                      G
I know that now, that is why I'm 
staying here

C - G - Am - F - F

Leave the ocean's roar in the 
turquoise shell
Leave the widower in his private 
hell
Leave the liberty in that broken 
bell today

Leave the epic poem on its yellowed 
page
Leave the grey macaw in his covered 
cage
Let the traveling band on the 
interstate remain

Everything must belong somewhere
Sound-stage in California, 
televisions in Times Square
Everything must belong somewhere
I know that now that's why I'm 
staying here
Am     F                    G
Yeah I know that now that's why I'm 
staying here

Leave the secret talk on the trundle
 bed
Leave the garden tools in that 
rusted shed
Leave those bad ideas in your 
troubled head today

Leave the restless ghost in his old 
hotel
Leave the homeless man in his 
cardboard cell
Let the painted horse on the 
carousel remain

Everything must belong somewhere
Just like the gold around her finger
 and the silver in his hair
Everything must belong somewhere
I know that now, that's why I'm 
staying here
I know that now, that's why I'm 
staying here

   E                 Am
In truth the forest hears each sound
     F             G
Each blade of grass as it lies down
  E              Am
The world requires no audience
F          Fm
No witnesses, no witnesses

Leave the old town drunk on his 
wooden stool
Leave the autumn leaves in their 
swimming pool
Leave the poor black child in his 
crumbling school today

Leave novelist in his daydream tumb
Leave the scientist in her Rubik's 
cube
Let true genius in the padded room 
remain

Leave horse’s hair on that slanted 
bow
Leave the slot machines on the 
riverboat
Leave the cauliflower in the 
casserole today

Leave the hot bright trash in the 
shopping malls
Leave the hawks of war in their 
capitals
Let the organ’s moan in the 
cathedral remain

Cause everything must belong 
somewhere
They locked the devil in the 
basement, threw God up into the air
Yeah, everything must belong 
somewhere
You know it's true, I wish you'd 
leave me here
F                   G            
You know it's true, why don't you
          Am
 leave me here?

E - F
