D
Catching butterflies, line drives, watching tv
D G
I had seven good years til I noticed they were looking at me
G D
I didn't like what they see
[Verse 2]
D
Trapped in the back seat, stay on your side
D G
My hand out the window feeling the air rush by
G D
While my parents fight
[Chorus]
G Em G Em
Where did you go? Did I make you leave?
G Em
Another thing I didn't know
G Em D
Nobody ever believes. They just leave, they just leave
G
And they'll see you on their own sweet time
D
They just leave
[Verse 3]
D
I didn't leave my room til I learned how to drive
D G
I was sweet seventeen, fighting with the back of my mind
G D
Til the wheel was all mine
[Chorus]
G Em G Em
Free to go, but still to young to leave
G Em
Old enough to think I know
G Em D
That nobody ever believes, they just leave, they just leave
G D
They just leave, they just leave
[Verse 4]
D
My plane landed, I'm alive
D G
I'm not fighting with the things I never thought I'd do to survive
G D
Now we've finally arrived
[Chorus]
G Em G Em
Now I know, more than I've ever believed
G Em
You could never let me know
G Em
You were just as young as me
G Em
You had to leave, you had to leave
G Em
You had to leave, your had to leave....
