[Intro]
C C/E F G C C/E F G

[Verse]
C             C/E               F   G/F
   I'd rather leave while I'm in love,
         Em          Am           Dm        G
While I still believe the meaning of the word
C               C/E              F   G/F
   I'll keep my dreams and just pretend,
     Em       Am      Dm          Esus E
That you and I   are never gonna end

[Chorus]
A           A/C#
  Too many times I've seen,
     Bm              E
The rose die on the vine
A             A/C#
  Somebody's heart gets broken,
Bm               E
   Usually it's mine
Bb                 Dm
   I don't want to take the chance,
    Cm         D
Of being hurt again
    Gsus   G      Dm     G
And you and I can't say goodbye

[Verse]
C          C/E              F   G/F
  So if you wake and find me gone
      Em        Am            Dm         G
Oh baby carry on   you see I need my fantasy
C            C/E
   I still believe,
F               G                 C
  It's best to leave while I'm in love

[Instrumental]
   C/E  F  G/F  Em  Am  Dm  Esus  E

[Chorus]
A           A/C#
  Too many times I've seen,
     Bm              E
The rose die on the vine
A             A/C#
  Somebody's heart gets broken,
Bm               E
   Usually it's mine
Bb                 Dm
   I don't want to take the chance,
    Cm         D
Of being hurt again
    Gsus   G      Dm     G
And you and I can't say goodbye

[Verse]
C          C/E              F   G/F
  So if you wake and find me gone,
      Em        Am            Dm         G
Oh baby carry on   you see I need my fantasy
C            C/E
   I still believe,
F               G                 C  C/E F G/F
  It's best to leave while I'm in love.
C          C/E
  I still believe,
F               G                C C/E F G
  It's best to leave while I'm in love. ( repeat til fade)
