The suit case

   
D
I SEE YOUR SUITCASE

STANDING NEAR THE DOORWAY

THE SAME ONE THAT YOU HAD 

THE NIGHT YOU CAME HERE

        A#
AND I REMEMBER HOW I RAN DOWN 

  C                          D
SEVEN FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO TAKE IT

          A#
AND HOW I CHUCKLED LIKE A CHILD

      F                      C
SO HAPPY THAT YOU COULD MAKE IT.

  Gm                 F
WITH YOU AROUND MY LIFE 

           C
BECAME EXCITING

     A#                F            Gm
AND EVERY DAY WAS LIKE A NEW ADVENTURE

A#                          C
ALL THE THINGS I DID BEFORE,

                    D
MUCH MORE WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER

  A#
I EVEN LET MYSELF BELIEVE

C                      F
THAT THIS COULD LAST FOREVER.

BUT WHEN I OPENED UP THE DOOR 

      Am
THIS EVENING

        A#                   Dm
I HAD A PREMONITION OF A DISASTER

          F
THERE WAS A SILENCE 

             C
IN THE WHOLE APARTMENT

            Gm
IT SHOOK MY HANDS 

                  Dm
AND MADE MY HEART BEAT FASTER.

         F
I CALLED YOUR NAME 

                  Am
BUT ONLY HEARD MY ECHO

           A#
AND THEN I SAW THE NOTE 

       Dm
BESIDE THE SUITCASE

     F
A SINGLE SCRIBBLED LINE 

       C
I READ IN SORROW:

   Gm
"I'M LEAVING. I'LL PICK THE SUITCASE UP 



  Dm
TOMORROW".

F                         C
I TRIED TO SLEEP BUT REALIZED 

IT'S HOPELESS

Gm            F
MY MIND IS FILLED WITH QUESTIONS 

Gm             A#
I CAN'T ANSWER.

                   C
DID I MAKE YOU GO AWAY? 

                    D
WAS LOVING TOO MUCH MY UNDOING?

                           F
WAS IT RESTLESSNESS IN YOU A WONDER 

           C
LUST YOU KEPT PURSUING?

Gm       F
IT'S ALMOST DAWN, 

             C
THE STREETS ARE GRAY AND LONELY

A#                F
OUR WORLD OUTSIDE IS WAITING 

        Gm9     Gm
FOR THE SUNLIGHT

A#                    C
BUT THE MEMORY OF YOU THAT LINGERS

            D
IN THE ROOM LIKE MADNESS

A#                   C
ALL IT PROMISES IS A DAY

                F
THAT'S DARKENED BY DESPAIR AND SADNESS.



AN HOUR TO GO I KNOW 

  Am               A#
BEFORE YOU GET HERE

TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT 

Dm
I DON'T MIND YOU 'RE LEAVING

F                  C
TO EVEN LEAVE YOUR BAG 

                   Gm
OUTSIDE THE DOORWAY

                     Dm            F
BUT IF I DO WHO WILL I BE DECEIVING

                      Am
I KNOW I HAVE TO STAY AROUND 

          A#
TO SEE YOU

WHAT GOOD IS BRIGHT 

Dm                        F
IF I MUST LIVE WITHOUT YOU

IF I MUST BEG, 

C
I'LL EVEN BEG TO KEEP YOU 

PLEASE DON'T GO, 

F                         Gm
I LOVE YOU SO, I NEED YOU.

PLEASE DON'T GO, 

I LOVE YOU SO, I NEED YOU.

Dm
PLEASE DON'T GO, 

                          Am
I LOVE YOU SO, I NEED YOU.
