I'm leaving by night, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
I'm leaving a - lone
Cmaj13/D* G/D
I´m Leaving it lie, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
when you waken I'll be gone
Cmaj13/D* G/D
I would not beg for me -
D Csus2/D
as I would not beg for you
G/D Gm/D D (D)
though I'd like to be the one to see you through
Csus2/D G/D
Every step you have take -
Gm/D Dsus4*
Disap - pears with the tide
Cmaj13/D* G/D
You're torn up and shaken -
Gm/D Dsus4*
with changing your mind
Cmaj13/D* G/D
You haven't got the grace -
D Csus2/D
to say you'll finally de- cide
G/D Gm/D D (D)
and you haven't got the strength to stay to fight
Csus2/D
Those people who surround you -
G/D Gm6/D D (D)
only want to see you weak enough to crawl
Csus2/D
They'll lie for you, decide for you
G/D Gm/D D (D)
and buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
Csus2/D G/D
And they'll try to stop your singing,
Gm/D D (D)
in the middle of your song
Csus2/D G/D
for they do not want you free,
D Csus2/D
and they will not make you strong -
G/D Gm/D D (D)
but only drag you down in the hole they're coming from
Csus2/D G/D
They say you are foolish -
Gm/D Dsus4*
in wanting the sun
Cmaj13/D* G/D
Say you selfish -
Gm/D Dsus4*
in learning to run
Csus2/D G/D
Tell you that the darkness -
D
is a blessing in disguise
Csus2/D G/D
For you never have to notice -
D Csus2/D
if you're sighted or you're blind
G/D Gm/D Dsus4*
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light

Csus2/D G/D
You're more than be - ginning, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
you're learning to fly
Cmaj13/D G/D
You feel like you're falling,
Gm/D D
but it passes in time
Csus2/D G/D D Csus2/D
I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song,
G/D G/D Gm/D D (D)
so I'm waiting by the doorway - I will not linger long
Csus2/D G/D
I'm leaving by night, -

I'm leaving a - lone
