G                 C            G          C
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
        G     D       G
Made of sand, made of sand
                  C              G         C
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin', 
        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       D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
Didn't mean to be unkind,
    D                 D7               G 
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
G                    C          G      C
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
       G     D      G 
This I know, this I know.
                        C        G        C 
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
             G   D            G
Please don't go, please don't go.

Chorus:
G       D                  C           G 
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D      D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
Didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               G
You know that was the last thing on my mind.




G                 C             G         C
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
          G      D         G
Round and round, round and round
               C                G         C
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
     G       D    G
Underground, underground

Chorus:
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D     D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
Didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               G
You know that was the last thing on my mind.


G              C          G       C
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
        G    D       G 
Without you, without you.
                 C             G       C 
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
        G    D       G
Without you, without you.

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

You know that was the last thing on my mind
