His 12-song debut disc is a cathartic journey and intimate lyrical portrait that includes the irresistible, melodic "Run To," the thoughtful and unforgettable "I Wish the Best For You," and the memorable first single, "If You're Gonna Leave.

Note: I've included 2 versions of this song. The 1st sounds the closest to the original
recording and the way that Emerson plays it live. The the 2nd is the Capo'd version I like
to play so that I don't have to change my guitar tuning.



Version 1:


Both E's dropped to C#

All other strings 1/2 step down

Chord names have been altered to be more recognizable as if in standard tuning.
Actual chord names are listed below the chord chart.

Intro: Dsus2 - Em7



Verse 1:

Dsus2 Em7
I used to be so beautiful
Dsus2 Em7
I used to build with my own hands
Dsus2 Em7
But I sold it away, I sold it away



Verse 2:

Dsus2 Em7
I used to know the taste of tears
Dsus2 Em7
I've found a way to sell my fears
Dsus2 Em7
And I sold them away, I sold them away



Bridge 1:

F#
I used to be
F Dsus2 (Riff)
I used to be here



Verse 3:

Dsus2 Em7
I used to care about the fight
Dsus2 Em7
I'll fall to one, I broke my light
Dsus2 Em7
Now it's fading away, It's fading away



Bridge 2:

F#
Don't fade away
F Dsus2 (Riff)
Don't go away, please



Chorus:

Dsus2
I told myself a thousand times
A5
I live and breathe between these lines
Em7
And when it shakes, I wash away
Asus4 A
And all that's left is mostly grey
Dsus2
I've locked myself inside a thought
A5
I tried to hide, but I got caught
Em7
Can't be undone, no more to say
Asus4 A (F# - F)
And all that's left is mostly grey



Bridge 3: F# - F then

F#
I used to think I had no end
F
But all I see is break
Dsus2 (Riff) Dsus2
And I'd felt
