August In Bethany

[E]With the sound of the [B]ocean crashing[A]

7:30 Friday evening
Every[E]thing comes [B]tumbling [A]down
I choke back each [E]tear that bleeds[B]
I'd rather rest for[A]ever in your arms
I'd rather [E]stay here than [B]go
but I know that I should [A]leave
              (Start Riff 1)
As I sit here helpless

Don't [E]go
You said you wouldn't [B]

You said you wouldn't

Don't [A]go

You said you wouldn't

You said you couldn't

Don't [E]go
You said you wouldn't [B]

You said you wouldn't

Don't [A]go

You said you wouldn't
                      E     <--------------  Starting at this E
You said you couldn't                        Riff 1 is continuously
                                             played by a second guitar
               B            A                until the end of the verse.
I think of our time together

Is it fading, am I dreaming
Every[E]thing you [B]said lives [A]on
I cherish our [E]memories  [B]
I want to kiss your [A]tears away tonight
It's hard to [E]give up the [B]one
You never thought you'd [A]leave

Don't [E]go    [B]
Don't [A]go
Your [E]eyes, they see [B]through my [A]soul
Don't [E]go    [B]
Don't [A]go
You [E]say as I walk [B]out your [A]door.
