Intro: Bb F Bb F 
verse 1 
Bb              F 
Maybe it was to learn how to love 
Bb              G 
Maybe it was to learn how to leave 
Bb                   Am       B 
Maybe it was for the games we played 
Bb              F 
Maybe it was to learn how to choose 
Bb              G 
Maybe it was to learn how to lose 
Bb                   F       G 
Maybe it was for the love we made 
C       F               C             F    G 
Love is everything they said it would be 
    C         F                 G 
And love made sweet and sad the same 
C           F              C            F 
But love forgot to make me too blind to see 
Dm                C 
You're chickening out aren't you? 
Dm                                  C 
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum 
Dm                                   C 
I can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come 
      G   C 
So I'm leaving

Bb                   G 
Maybe it was for the lesson in pride 
Bb               Am       B 
Maybe it was the cowboys' ways 
Bb              F 
Maybe it was to learn not to lie 
Bb              G

C        F             G 
Love did not hold back the reins 
C           F              C            F 
But love forgot to make me too blind to see 
Dm                C 
You're chickening out aren't you? 
Dm                                  C 
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum 
Dm                                   C 
I can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come 
   G        F 
So I'm leaving 
Bridge 
F                 C 
First he turns to you 
                 Dm 
Then he turns to her 
              C 
So you try to hurt him back 
                        F 
But it breaks your body down 
               C 
So you try to love bigger 
          Dm 
Bigger still  
               G           G 
But it...it's too late 
verse 3 
   C       F              C               F    G 
So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel 
    C           F            G 
And know you'll never be the same 
    C       F                C              F 
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say 
Dm        C 
I gave my love didn't I? 
Dm            C 
And I gave it big...sometimes 
Dm                  C 
And I gave it in my own sweet time 
     G       C 
I'm just leaving 
         F  G  C 
I'm just leaving
