When She Wakes Up And Finds Me Gone

G   Em   C  D

[ VERSE 1 ]
       G                       Em
With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can
   C                                 D     D7
To write down all the reasons I cant stay
  G                              Em
I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man
        C                              D7
Cause a man would never leave her this way
          G                              Em
A note of things I should have said lays beside her sleepin head
     C                               D         D7
As I turn and make my way off in the night
       G                             Em
By the time the mornin's breakin, my heart will still be achin'
      C                              D7
Every time I think of what I've left behind


[ CHORUS ]
              Em           Bm            C
Cause I don't wanna see me leavin in her eyes
            D                  C                 G      D
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry-----
            Em               Bm           C
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
                  Am7
So I don't wanna  be  here in the mornin
D              D7              G         Em      C     D      D7
When she wakes up and finds me gone


[ VERSE 2 ]
            G                                     Em
It hurts to know how much she'll hurt, I've told myself things could be worse
             C                                  D      D7
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way
       G                                 Em
By the time she finds I'm gone I'll be a long long way from home
         C                                   D7
When she reads the note of things I couldn't say


[ CHORUS ]
              Em           Bm            C
Cause I don't wanna see me leavin in her eyes
            D                  C                 G      D
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry-----
            Em               Bm           C
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
                  Am7
So I don't wanna  be  here in the mornin
D              D7              G         Em      C     D      D7
When she wakes up and finds me gone


G   Em

                   Am7
Lord I don't wanna be here in the mornin
D              D7
When she wakes up----
             G
and finds me gone
