INTRO: What’s in parentheses is what’s actually being played, but leaving it out sounds
too. If it’s too confusing just pretend the parentheses aren’t there.
C (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am (A5 Am A5 Am)
Verse 1:
C (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am
Laid our blessings on the ground
(A5 Am A5 Am) C
The softening of sound
(Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am (A5 Am A5 Am)
Draws us closed again
C (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am
Stay, stay and watch the coals
(A5 Am A5 Am) C
till they cease to glow
(Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am (A5 Am A5 Am)
like empty promises
CHORUS:
C G F C G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
C G F C G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
C
Baby?
C Cmaj7 Am A5
VERSE 2: (Remember Verse 1’s parentheses)
C Am
There's nothing I can say
C
Nothing I can do
Am
To bring you back again
C Am
This of life I know is true
C
It's all a falling through
Am
and so I reach for you
CHORUS:
C G F C G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
C G F C G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
BRIDGE:
Am C
Don't you care
Am C
That it may seem unfair?
F C G
You steal things you ought to borrow
Am C
Don't you find
Am C
That it may seem unkind?
F C G
I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow
FINAL CHORUS:
C G F C G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
C G F C G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
C
Baby?
