To Leave What Should Be Left Alone

Matt Andersen


Tom: E

E                       B     A
Was I ever good for you
                            E    B   E
Or have I only let you down
                            B  A
Did we do all we could do
                           E      B  A
To keep from running aground
                        E               A
I can see it coming down the line
                        B  E
What I’ve always known
                                   B    
The thought thats been on my mind
    A                B                  E
To leave what should be left alone

I never wanted you to say
Baby its time to go
I never wanted you to stay
And be my second home
I feel it in a distant wind
I feel it in my bones
It’s pullin on my heart again
To leave what should be left alone

B                   A  E                B
I’ve watched it hit the ground
                   A   E        B
I’ve watched it fall apart
                             A   E
I’ve heard the worlds saddest sound
     A                          E
The sound of a broken heart

Was I ever good for you
Or have I only let you down
Did we do all we could do
To keep from running aground
I can see it coming down the line
What I’ve always known
The thought thats been on my mind
To leave what should be left alone
