capo: 1st fret
[intro]
F Dm C
[verse (1)]
Dm Bb
Although the years have changed now
C F
And we go by different names
F Dm C
I remember the sound of our roof in the rain
Bb Dm
And my mind goes back in time
C F
To a place so far gone
F Dm
Where the love we left behind us
C
Was still new
[verse (2)]
Dm Bb
We were listening to the record
C F
On the end of your bed
F Dm C
Not giving thought to where it was all going
E Bb Dm
And i wished right then and there so badly
C F
I could read your mind
F Dm C
Just so i could know the things that you were knowing
[chorus]
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm C F
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm
That everything we lose
C F
Will be a gift in time
F Dm C
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
[verse (3)]
Dm Bb
When it was time to say goodbye
C F
Those words came down like stones
F Dm
I admit for so long after
C
It was hard to feel at home
Bb Dm
We would hear the highway’s song
C F
Shifting down in the night
F Dm C
I was grateful that the echoes broke the quiet
[chorus]
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm C F
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm
That everything we lose
C F
Will be a gift in time
F Dm C
But the hardest part is leaving love behind

[verse]
Dm Bb
The sun fades on me now
C F
And i miss you like words can’t know
F Dm C
And i missed my shot at dying young a long time ago
Bb Dm
It’s just a lesson learned in love
C F
It’s not angry it’s not sad
F Dm
Some time you have to lose something
C
To know what you have
[chorus]
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm C F
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm
That everything we lose
C F
Will be a gift in time
F Dm C
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
Although the years have changed now, and we go by different names
I remember the sound of our roof in the rain
And my mind goes back in time to a place so far gone
Where the love we left behind us was still new
We were listening to the record on the end of your bed
Not giving thought to where it was all going
And I wished right then and there so badly I could read your mind
Just so I could know the things that you were knowin'
I believe, yes I do
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
I believe, yes I do
That everything we lose will be a gift in time
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
When it was time to say goodbye, those words came down like stones
I admit, for so long after, it was hard to feel at home
