When It All Goes Wrong  - Music and Lyrics by Leigh Mary Stokes


G              B   
I have a bitter tongue
               C
And a taste for irritating you and
G                     B
You have a way of making me
C
Angrier than I have ever been.

(Versus throughout are just G B and C)
But when you walk away,
I don’t know what to say
You leave me crying I spend hours trying to
Go back in time in my head
Going over and over
All those stupid little words I said.

(chorus)
Am                                    D
And when it all goes wrong
                                    Am
I don’t know what to say
                                D
It’s killing me to just sit back
                                     Am
And watch you walk away
                                     D
And when it all goes wrong                            
                        Am
How can I explain?
                                 D
My love for you is killing me
                                G                         B   C
That’s why I asked you to leave

Versus again G,B,C

It’s all a mess and I’ve been going on acting
Like scarlet O’Hara
A little bit dramatic
But it’s too late
And you’re to blame
Oh what a shame 
I’m feeling lower and lower
By the minute ‘coz
You walked away....

Bridge

Am                                D
But i know when you go
        Am      
That you’ll be home tonight
                                D
Hopefully telling me
                                             Am
How you’ll make things alright
                                     D
And we’ll sit on the sofa
                            Am
Watch telly and do
                                             D
All the things that we’d normally do
      Am                                        D
And you say that you’ll never leave again
     Am                                          D   
You say that you’ll never leave again
   Am                                            D       
You say that you’ll never leave again
Am                                            D       
You say that you’ll never leave again

(Double Chorus)
Am                                    D
And when it all goes wrong
                                    Am
I don’t know what to say
                                D
I need you here with me
                                   Am
To make me feel okay
                                     D
And when it all goes wrong
                            
                        Am
How can I explain?
                                 D
My love for you is killing me
                                 Am
That’s why I asked you to leave - 
Am                                    D
Next time it all goes wrong
                                    Am
Please don’t walk away
                                D
I need you here with me
                                   Am
To make me feel okay
                                     D
Next time it all goes wrong
                            
                         Am
Please don’t walk away?
                    D
This is my apology so baby
 G                  B   C                        
Please stay
