Too Soon To Go

Tom: G

INTRO: Am  D  G

                                       Am
Sometimes I hear the song that you are singing
D                             G
Softly out of tune, in broken lines
                                    Am
I see the truth, the rhythm and the meaning
        D                                G
And the best I'll ever be inside in your eyes


                                        Am
Sometimes you are the dry grass, summer orchids
    D                           G
Sometimes a hawk, lonely in its flight
                                      Am
I don't know where you end and I'm beginning 
         D                               G
Are you awake tonight and looking at the sky?


CHORUS:
                                      C
It's too soon to go, it's too soon to go
D                                               G
Stay a little longer, there's so much I need to know
                               C
Time is a just our small tracks in the falling snow
     D                        G     Am  D  G
It's just too soon for you to go


                                           Am
Sometimes I hear you speak when you're not speaking
    D                                    G
Sometimes I feel you hurt, that's when I cry
                                        Am
Your kindness is the conscience running through me
         D                                 G
And your easy laughter spills across these lines


CHORUS:
                                      C
It's too soon to go, it's too soon to go
D                                               G
Stay a little longer, there's so much I need to know
                               C
Time is a just our small tracks in the melting snow
     D                        G     Am  D  G    Am  D  G
It's just too soon for you to go


                                    Am
Sometimes I am just a child of your mercy
    D                           G
Sometimes a woman softly in the night
                                       Am
Sometimes I just don't feel I can keep going
  D                                G
Because of you, I raise myself and try


CHORUS:
                                      C
It's too soon to go, it's too soon to go
D                                                G
Stay a little longer, there's so much we need to know
                               C
Time is a just our small tracks in the falling snow
     D                        G 
It's just too soon for you to go
