  			C                                 G 
The sun is coming up and I'm just going down 
                                  C 
Everywhere I look the world keeps turning 'round 
C                              G 
Though I said I never would be satisfied 
       F               G              C  
Baby I lied I couldn't leave you if I tried 
C                                G 
Sometimes I get lost out on this sad old town 
G                                      C 
And every bridge I cross just turns me upside down 
C                                    G               
And every stumbling step I take back to your side 
         F                G              C     C7 
Hurts my pride I couldn't leave you if I tried 
F 
Well I could not walk away no matter what I say 
                                 D7 
I won't be leaving believe it or don't 
                  G   Gaug 
You're all that I want 
C                               G 
Tears may fall but after all is said and done 
                                     C 
Darlin' please believe me you're the only one 
                                     G 
And I'll admit mistakes I've made me realize 
       F               G              C 
Baby I lied I couldn't leave you if I tried 
 
SOLO 
 
F 
I won't be leaving you no matter what I do 
                                  D7 
I'm gonna see it through 'til the end 
          G  Gaug  
And do it again 
C                                     G 
Years may come and friends may go but that's ok 
                              C 
Darlin' you're the only one I need to stay 
                               G 
I know I said I never would be satisified 
       F               G              C 
Baby I lied I couldn't leave you if I tried 
F           G             Am 
I couldn't leave you if I tried 
 
F   G    C
