C                                 G
The sun is coming up and I'm just going down
                                  C
Everywhere I look the world keeps turning 'round
C                              G
Though I said I never would be satisfied
       F               G              C
Baby I lied I couldn't leave you if I tried
C                                G
Sometimes I get lost out on this sad old town
G                                      C
And every bridge I cross just turns me upside down
C                                    G
And every stumbling step I take back to your side
         F                G              C     C7
Hurts my pride I couldn't leave you if I tried
F
Well I could not walk away no matter what I say
                                 D7
I won't be leaving believe it or don't
                  G   Gaug
You're all that I want
C                               G
Tears may fall but after all is said and done
                                     C
Darlin' please believe me you're the only one
                                     G
And I'll admit mistakes I've made me realize
       F               G              C
Baby I lied I couldn't leave you if I tried

SOLO

F
I won't be leaving you no matter what I do
                                  D7
I'm gonna see it through 'til the end
          G  Gaug
And do it again
C                                     G
Years may come and friends may go but that's ok
                              C
Darlin' you're the only one I need to stay
                               G
I know I said I never would be satisified
       F               G              C
Baby I lied I couldn't leave you if I tried
F           G             Am
I couldn't leave you if I tried

F   G    C
