Leaving Time

[G] [C] [G] [C]

[G]We were getting tired of not [C]living to the letter,
[G]And yet not knowing how to [C]do it that much better,
[Am]I was feeling awful all the [D]time,
[Am]She was never really on my [D]mind.

I [G]know you'll soon decide that it's [C]time to be a-leaving,
[G]To begin the search for something [C]worthwhile to believe in,
The frus[Am]tration of now knowing what it [D]is,
Yet [Am]knowing you need more than cash to [D]live.

You said [G]don't you ever feel like human [C]beings are a virus,
And [G]if god loved the earth he'd do his [C]best to sterilize us,
For I k[Am]now the worlds a complex place to [D]be,
But [Am]don't become a cynical as [D]me.
A [G]thousand pop songs say that life's a [C]never ending highway,
And [G]if you're young you'd close your eyes [C]floor the car and drive it,
But I [Am]know that for every open [D]road,
You [Am]see a door that's just waiting to [D]close.

Please just [G]follow the people who love [C]life enough to use it,
[G]Use their eyes to see the earth, their [C]hearts to make the music,
Who [Am]love the world so very much it [D]hurts,
Turn that [Am]love into a chorus and a [D]verse.
You see, its for you I write this song like it's the [C]one to close the album,

But [G]here I thought I’d finish before this [C]drizzle was a downpour,
But [Am]please refrain, this aint Man[D]chester,
No, if you [Am]close your eyes you could be any[D]where.

Its the [G]song I tried to [C]write but I was [Am]young,      [D]
Its the [G]song about [C]politics and [Am]love,          [D]
You know the one. [G]      [C]           [G]                [C]                     [G]                          [C]                               [G]
