[Verse]
A                 D            A
It's a lesson too late for the learning
D       A     E       A
Made of sand, made of sand
                  D              A
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
D       A     E       A
In your hand, in your hand


[Chorus]
        E
Are you goin' away
        D          A
With no word of farewell
           D        A            E     E7
Will there be not a trace left behind
       A                  D
Well I could've loved you better
         A
I didn't mean to be unkind
    E                                  A
You know that was the last thing on my mind


[Intro]


[Verse]
A                    D          A
You've got reasons a'plenty for goin'
D      A     E      A
This I know, this I know
                        D        A
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
D            A   E            A
Please don't go, please don't go


[Chorus]
        E
Are you goin' away
        D          A
With no word of farewell
           D        A            E     E7
Will there be not a trace left behind
       A                  D
Well I could've loved you better
         A
I didn't mean to be unkind
    E                                  A
You know that was the last thing on my mind

(Intro x2)


[Verse]
A              D          A
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
D       A    E       A 
Without you, without you
                D          A
Each song in my breast dies of boredom
D       A    E       A
Without you, without you
 

[Chorus]
        E
Are you goin' away
        D          A
With no word of farewell
           D        A            E     E7
Will there be not a trace left behind
       A                  D
Well I could've loved you better
         A
I didn't mean to be unkind
    E                                  A
You know that was the last thing on my mind
E                              A
And that was the last thing on my mind
