It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
 C       G     D       G 
Made of sand, made of sand
       G           C              G 
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
C       G     D       G 
In your hand, in your hand

          D                  C         G 
Are you going away with no word of farewell
      C              G            D  
Will there be not a trace left behind
    G                         
I could have loved you better
        C
Didn't mean to be unkind
      G                D                G 
You know that was the last thing on my mind

       G          c           G
As we walk my thoughts are a-tumbling
C           G      D         G
Round and round, round and round
     G           C                 G
Underneath our feet the subway's rumbling
C        G    D       G
Underground, underground

          D                  C         G 
Are you going away with no word of farewell
      C              G            D  
Will there be not a trace left behind

You've got reasons a plenty for going
C        G    D       G
This I know, this I know
         G              C        G
For the weeds have been steadily growing
C            G   D            G
Please don't go, please don't go
