[Verse 1]
G                      C
 Bloodshot eyes in the morning
G                       C
 Wake to the day with a memory in my mind
G                             C
 Plane touches down and I can see those street lights
G                             C
 The plane touches down and I know it's time to fly

[Chorus]
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C       G    C    G    C
 One thing I can't leave behind

[Verse 2]
G                         C
 Gets so cold here in the evenings
G                           C
 Wait 'til the dark, then I build my firelight
G                              C
 Feel such a fool to just keep waiting
G                          C
 Feel such a fool 'cause I know I still hope to find

[Chorus]
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave

[Refrain]
                  G         B7       C        G
But I want you to take your time and think it over
G      B7      C          D
Stay a while until you're sure
                      C           G
You're not taking the easy way out
    C           D
The easy way out

[Verse 3]
G                           C
 Star-crossed nights in the canyon
G                           C
 Everybody fighting just to hold their place in line
G                                C
 They come from all the farthest reaches
G                          C
 Everybody looking for something I hope they find

[Chorus]
D                     C
 One thing they can't leave behind
D                     C
 One thing they can't leave

[Verse 4]
G                        C
 Eyes fall open with the first light
G                        C
 Make my way down to the ocean burning blue
G                           C
 Each day I'm cast a little farther
G                              C
 Each day the current pulls me closer down to you

[Chorus]
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave behind
D                  C
 One thing I can't leave

[Refrain]
                  G         B7       C        G
But I want you to take your time and think it over
G      B7      C          D
Stay a while until you're sure
                 G         B7       C        G
Just remember to take your time and think it over
G      B7      C          D
Stay a while until you're sure
                      C           G
You're not taking the easy way out
    C           D
The easy way out
                      C           G
You're not taking the easy way out
                   C            D
I can show you the easy way down

G                      C
 Bloodshot eyes in the morning
G                       C                G
 Wake to the day with a memory in my mind
