[Verse 1]
                  C            G
It's a lesson too late for the learning
C       G     D       G
Made of sand, made of sand
                  C              G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
C       G     D       G
In your hand, in your hand


[Chorus]
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C              G
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
                      D                G     C  G    C  G
You know that was the last thing on my mind


[Verse 2]
                 C               G
As we walk on my thoughts keep a-tumbling
C         G      D         G
Round and round, round and round
               C               G
Underneath our feet the subway rumbling
C    G       D    G
Underground, underground


[Chorus]
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C              G
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
                      D                G     C  G    C  G
You know that was the last thing on my mind


[Verse 3]
G                 C          G
You got reasons a-plenty for going
C      G     D      G
This I know, this I know
                        C        G
For the weeds have been steadily growing
C            G   D            G
Please don't go, please don't go


[Chorus]
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C              G
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
                      D                G     C  G    C  G
You know that was the last thing on my mind


[Chorus]
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C              G
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
                      D                G     C  G    C  G
You know that was the last thing on my mind
