[Verse 1]
C G
It's a lesson too late for the learning
C G D G
Made of sand, made of sand
C G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
C G D G
In your hand, in your hand
[Chorus]
D C G
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
C G D
Will there be not a trace left behind?
G C G
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
D G C G C G
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 2]
C G
As we walk on my thoughts keep a-tumbling
C G D G
Round and round, round and round
C G
Underneath our feet the subway rumbling
C G D G
Underground, underground
[Chorus]

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
C G D
Will there be not a trace left behind?

Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind

This I know, this I know

For the weeds have been steadily growing
C G D G
Please don't go, please don't go
[Chorus]

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
