Intro: G C G C
G C D Em C
If I had an audience I'd cover my face, lock away myself in a lonesome place
G C
If I'd had a premonition of how this would be
D Em C
I would still have begged and took you home with me
D Em C
Still have done it all, done it hopelessly
G D
And bury myself when all I could see
Em C
Well I lost my heart when my back was turned
G C
If you see it could you let me know?
G D Em C
And if you've got to leave me, baby, won't you do it slow?
G C D Em C
If I had a crystal ball I still wouldn't see it all I swear I didn't do it just to make you crawl
G C D Em C
And if I had a audience I'd ask them to leave, how can I give them what I can't recieve?
D Em C
How can I pray when I just don't believe?
G D
And sometimes it takes, all your heart just to breathe
Em C G C
Well I lost my heart when my back was turned, if you see it could you let me know

And if you've got to leave me, baby, won't you do it slow?
