G Em C D
[ VERSE 1 ]
G Em
With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can
C D D7
To write down all the reasons I cant stay
G Em
I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man
C D7
Cause a man would never leave her this way
G Em
A note of things I should have said lays beside her sleepin head
C D D7
As I turn and make my way off in the night
G Em
By the time the mornin's breakin, my heart will still be achin'
C D7
Every time I think of what I've left behind
[ CHORUS ]
Em Bm C
Cause I don't wanna see me leavin in her eyes
D C G D
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry-----
Em Bm C
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
Am7
So I don't wanna be here in the mornin
D D7 G Em C D D7
When she wakes up and finds me gone
[ VERSE 2 ]
G Em
It hurts to know how much she'll hurt, I've told myself things could be worse
C D D7
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way
G Em
By the time she finds I'm gone I'll be a long long way from home
C D7
When she reads the note of things I couldn't say
[ CHORUS ]
Em Bm C
Cause I don't wanna see me leavin in her eyes
D C G D
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry-----
Em Bm C
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
Am7
So I don't wanna be here in the mornin
D D7 G Em C D D7
When she wakes up and finds me gone
G Em
Am7
Lord I don't wanna be here in the mornin
D D7
When she wakes up----
G
and finds me gone
G Em C D G
