Tom: Am

| Fm         | Fm         | C          | Am         |
| G          | G   C      | Dm         | F          |

[Verse 1]
Am                          F                       C          C
  Close the door, kiss your mom and youʼre driving away.
Am                         F                     C                     G
  Hardly can see when your life fills the spaces seeking a cause for delay.
Dm                 F         C                          G
  Take my hand and use it to pull back the ache in your throat,
        Dm                   F
Maybe I could have planned a bit better,
      C                       G    C       N.C.
maybe I could have planned at all. So

[Chorus 1]
            F                  C
Iʼm sorry I left you in Pennsylvania,
                G                 Fm      C
it doesnʼt mean   I can go on without you now.
            Fm                 C          N.C.
Iʼm sorry I left you in Pennsylvania,
                    G         C            Dm           F
but it doesnʼt mean   I... it doesnʼt mean anything.

[Verse 2]
Am                       F                        C          C
  Read the words, shake it off, from the heart and the mind,
Am                      F                  C                         G
  not quite alone with my phone in my hand but feeling your grasp would suffice.
Dm                F        C                     G
Still I sit there writing, seven years after the day,
       Dm                    F
that I   said that Iʼd never leave you,
     C                     G   C       N.C.
when I said that Iʼd never go. So

[Chorus 2]
            F                      C
Iʼm sorry I left you in Southern Australia,
                G                 Fm      C
it doesnʼt mean   I can go on without you now.
            Fm                   C          Am
Iʼm sorry I left you in Southern Australia,
                    G         C            Dm           F      N.C.
but it doesnʼt mean   I... it doesnʼt mean anything.

[Verse 3]
Am                  F                      C          C
  If you felt that we had something special at all,
Am                          F               C                    G
thought we were moving towards some destination building us up for the fall.
   Dm           F          C                         G
It might be overstating to say that I wonʼt leave ya now.
         Dm                         F
Honey, I   can just hear your heart breaking,
         C                G      C       N.C.
but itʼs only a matter of time before ...

[Chorus 3]
             F               C
Iʼll have to leave you in Arizona,
                    G                  Fm   C
and it doesnʼt mean   I, that I didnʼt love you with all of my heart.
        F                   Am          Ab       N.C.
And Iʼm sorry but I have to go now
               G                           F
and it doesnʼt   mean I... it doesnʼt mean anything.
