Never On The Day You Leave

[Intro]
G  D  A  D
 
[Chorus]
        G                    D
No it's never on the day you leave
         A                       D
That you wonder what you still believe in
        G              D                 A
And you can't remember why you said goodbye
               G            D                   A            Bm    G
You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around
    D      A                    D
But never, never on the day you leave
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                 D
Love grows in the time it's been
      Bm                   A
Since you last heard her sing
       G                D
She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
          Bm         A
She don't owe you anything
 
 
[Interlude]
G D A D
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                     D
No it's never on the day you leave
        A                   D
You can tell how it's gonna be
           G              D                A
To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
               G                  D
You wish you'd given her one more kiss
       A          Bm         G
To put away for a night like this
    D      A                     D
But never, never on the day you leave
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                 D
Love grows in the time it's been
      Bm                 A
Since you last held her hand
                 G
She'll fight for you like hell
     D                Bm              A
Then force herself to like some other man
 
 
[Interlude]
D  G  E  D  D  D/C#
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                     D
No it's never on the day you leave
           A                 D
That you remember Christmas Eve
             G                D              A
And all the things you miss about her crazy family
                G               D            A          Bm        G
You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree
     Bm    A                    D
But never, never on the day you leave
   Bm     A                    D
No never, never on the day you leave
 
 
[Bridge]
    E                          G
So maybe it'd be better off to write her
    E                                 G
And leave a little note right there beside her
          E                                G
That says maybe we're not perfect but I'll be
D           A    G
Damned if I ever leave
D           A    G
Damned if I ever leave
D           D/A  D
Damned if I ever leave
