Tom: D

D   A7   D

[Verse]
D                          D7            G
Do the mornin's still come early are the nights not long enough
       D                          E7             A7
Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch
        D               D7             G
Well it might just be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
      D                A7          D
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

[Verse]
      D                D7              G
Maybe lay and let your feelings grow accustomed to the dark
       D                                        E7               A7
And by morning's light you just might solve the problems of your heart
       D                             G
And it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
      D                A7          D
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

[Chorus]
       D              D7                G
People reach new understandings all the time
                   D    A7             D
They take a second look   maybe change their minds
                      D7             G
People reach new understandings everyday
               D          A7            D
Tell me not to reach babe  and I'll go away

[Verse]
       D                   D7            G
Do the mornin's still come early are the nights not long enough
       D                          E7             A7
Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch
        D                 D7             G
Well it might just be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
      D                A7          D
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

[Chorus]
       D              D7                G
People reach new understandings all the time
                   D    A7             D
They take a second look   maybe change their minds
                      D7             G
People reach new understandings everyday
               D          A7            D
Tell me not to reach babe  and I'll go away

[Verse]
       D                   D7            G
Do the mornin's still come early are the nights not long enough
