When You Leave LW111
LW111 plays with capo on the 5th fret. There is a deal of hammering on during the chord
(Not sure about the C after the F in the Break).The D at the end of each couplet is D
then Dsus4
G Em
You left for camp, you left for school
Am/C D
Left for the coast when that was cool then
G Em
You left women, one a wife
Am/C D
To save your skin you wrecked a life and
Am C
then there's kids its not just one
G D
life that you wreck you're on the run
Am C
You go to town to start anew
G D
those you left come after you
G Em
Its what you think its how you feel
C D
though who can say if its all real
G Em
The darndest thing kids grow up
Am/C D
One day some strange adults show up
G Em
The ones you left are right in town
Am/C D
that’s nice you say they'll be around
Am C
perhaps they just a bit bereft but
G D
they'll forgive the one who left
Am C
sad stories can have happy ends
G D
perhaps now you can just be friends
G Em
Its what you want its how you feel
Am/C D
whats more you hope your theory's real
(Break)
F C
Who would have thought or could believe
G D
Things go so badly when you leave
F C
the skin you saved is growing slack and
G D
those you left don't want you back
(Instrumental)
G Em
Your power's gone it was pro tem
Am/C D
The wife you left meant more to them
G Em
Its not just that they side with her
Am/C D
you left and who knew where you were
Am C
The reason that they came to town
G D
was just to make that place their own
Am C
You realised your greatest fear
G D
you are so close but hardly here
G Em
It's what you think it's how you feel
Am/C D
and what's worse is you know its real
