Introduction:

           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     G+ 
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   G+ 
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
