Go while the going is good 
F#m 
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing 
                Am     G 
That anyone can learn, Go  
              C     G          Bbmaj7 
I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart 
 
Fly while you still have your wings 
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach 
The point of no return, Fly  
Foolish as it seems, I still have my dreams 
 
                 D                  A7  
So I keep hoping day after day as I wait for the man I need 
D                      A7                       D 
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be 
                                             A7 
Though I'm sure that no one can tell whether wishes and hopes will be 
D                                     A7         D  
Somewhere I'm feel there is happiness waiting for me 
 
When someone walks in your life, you just better be sure he's right 
'cause if he's wrong, there are heartaches and tears you must pay 
Keep both of your eyes on the door, never let it get out of sight 
D                         A7                      Bbmaj7 
Just be prepared when the time has come, you run away 
 
G                           F#m 
Sail when the wind starts to blow 
G                   F#m 
But, like a fool, I don't know 
Bbmaj7 Gm  G#7 
When   to leave.......
