  			       D  
Do the mornings still come early? 
        G  
Are the nights not long enough?  
       D  
Does a tear of hesitation  
        Em             A  
Fall on everything you touch?  
        D  
Well, it might just be a lesson  
        G              Em  
For the hasty heart to know.  
       D               A           D  
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go  


               D  
Maybe lie and let your feelings  
             G  
Grow accustomed to the dark,  
           Em    
And by morning's light, you might solve   
         A  
The problems of the heart.  
          D  
And it all might be a lesson  
               G  
For the hasty heart to know.  
        D             A          D  
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go  


        D              D7               G  
People reach new understandings all the time.  
                   D            A           D  
They take a second look, maybe change their minds.  
       D               D7            G  
People reach new understandings everyday.  
               D              A       D     
Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away.  

                   D  
But do the mornings still come early,  
        G  
Are the nights not long enough?  
       D  
Does a tear of hesitation  
        Em             A  
Fall on everything you touch?  
        D  
Well, it might just be a lesson  
        G              Em  
For the hasty heart to know.  
       D               A           D  
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
