Always Leaving - Spoonboy
G D Em C G D Em C
G D Em
Today I wrote a song, and I guess that it's about you,
C G
or how I never understood what dancing meant until I met you.
D Em C
In a winter college town you proved that we could move in ways so un-ingenuine.
G D Em
Then: on the crowded floor, a little down, ten people over,
C G
was like standing on the violent ocean shore.
D Em
I said "you know it'd be the same," and I said "boy don't be naive.
C G D
even if i stuck around, but you know i'm always leaving.
Em C G D Em C
you know i'm always leaving. you know i'm always leaving. you know i'm always leaving.
G D Em
so today i wrote this song, but somehow i know it's not about you,
C G
as much as wanting to belong, or have something to connect to.
D Em
and how impermanence came wholly into question,
C G D
when you, you challenged my perception that to go back and forth is such a noble task.
Em C G D
you shook the sea without so much as leaving tracks and gave motion a whole new meaning.
Em C G D
one i'd try to learn if i wasn't always leaving.
Em C G D Em C
but you know i'm always leaving. you know i'm always leaving. you know i'm always leaving
