| G D/F# Em D | A | A | | G D/F# | A7 | D D |
D Em
....What do you say when it's over?
G D
Don't know if I should say anything at all....
D Em
....One day we're rollin' in the clover....
G D
....Next thing you know we take the fall....
D Em
Still I think about the years since I first met you....
G D
and the way it might have been without you here....
D Em
I don't know if words from me can still upset you....
G A D
But, I've just got to make this memory stand clear……
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em D A
I know I'm leav - in' here....a better man....
G D/F# Em D A
For know - in' you this way....
G D/F# Em D A
Things I couldn't do….be-fore…now I think I can....
G D/F# A (pause) D
and I'm leav - in' here a better man....

D Em
....Guess I always knew I couldn't hold you....
G D
But I'd never be the one to set you free....
D Em
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you....
G A D
You still believe in some old meant - to - be's

Still, I'm leav - in' here....a better man....

G D/F# Em D A
