a G-Em progression that isn’t under major vocals.

        G                                          
It is a narrowing. It is a shrinking and there’s a 
Em
danger of overthinking
       G                                         Em
It was everybody getting tired of drinking every night
            D                                   C
There was a little left to believe in, which is how I 
really knew I should be leaving

            G              Em
I should be leaving…       now
            G              Em
I should be leaving

               G                                     
We were clever then. We’d talk forever then, and the 
                              Em
night of our invention it would never end
           G                                   
It was a parting, and there was sorrow, it was 
                        Em
impossible to picture a tomorrow
          D                                          
It was necessity and it was instinct and the pattern 
              C
underneath it kept repeating
          D                                           
kept repeating, kept repeating, which is how I really 
             C
knew I should be leaving

            G              Em
I should be leaving…       now
            G              Em
I should be leaving

 Am                        C                          
Oh and it was everything. Oh and it was just a way to 
                      G          Em
keep from waking up alone
                      G             Em
Which is why I had to go
                         D             C
Which is why I should be leaving
                      G            Em        G       Em
Which is why I had to go

     G                                 Em
Am I belaboring? Am I delivering? Am I offering you a 
blanket, and you’re shivering?
        G                                        
Is it a play?      Without the passion? Is it an 
Em
endless repetition of an action?
             D                                C
If there’s a christening, or a crisis, we can get 
together then and say how nice it is
      D                                  C
Is it torment? Well it depends, which is how I really 
knew I should be leaving

            G              Em
I should be leaving…       now
            G              Em
I should be leaving

Am                        C                          
Oh and it was everything. Oh and it was just a way to
                     G             Em
 keep from waking up alone
                      G             Em
Which is why I had to go
                         G             Em
Which is why I should be leaving
                      G            Em              
Which is why I had to go                           
          G
which you know
