Never On The Day You Leave

[Intro] G  D  A  D

[Chorus]

        G                    D
No it's never on the day you leave
         A                    
That you wonder what you still 
   D
believe in
        G              D          
And you can't remember why you 
       A
said goodbye
               G            D     
You'll hear an old familiar sound 
              Bm           D  
and hope it's her when you turn 
  G
around
    Bm      A                 
But never, never on the day you 
   D
leave

[First Part]

G                 D
Love grows in the time it's been
      Bm                   A
Since you last heard her sing
       G                D
She'll cut her hair and move 
somewhere
          Bm         A
She don't owe you anything

[Interlude] G  D  A  D

[Chorus]

Continues after the ad
        G                     D
No it's never on the day you leave
        A                   D
You can tell how it's gonna be
           G              D  
To watch a girl become a ghost 
              A
before your eyes
               G                  
You wish you'd given her one more 
D
kiss
       Bm          D         G
To put away for a night like this
    Bm      A                 
But never, never on the day you 
    D
leave

[Second Part]

G                 D
Love grows in the time it's been
      Bm                 A
Since you last held her hand
                 G
She'll fight for you like hell
     D                Bm      
Then force herself to like some 
        A
other man

[Interlude] D  G  E  G  A4  A

[Chorus]

        G                     D
No it's never on the day you leave
           A                 D
That you remember Christmas Eve
             G                D   
And all the things you miss about 
           A
her crazy family
                G               D 
You'll know how lonely it is to 
           Bm          D        G
see a little drug store Christmas 
tree
     Bm    A                  
But never, never on the day you 
  D    (D/F#  G)
leave
   Bm     A                    D
No never, never on the day you leave

[Bridge]

    E                          G
So maybe it'd be better off to write
 her
    E                              
And leave a little note right there
   G
 beside her
          E                      
That says maybe we're not perfect 
          G
but I'll be
Bm          A    G
Damned if I ever leave
Bm          A    G
Damned if I ever leave
G           G/A  D
Damned if I ever leave
