..........C......Gadd11...C/A........F.............Gadd11
Leave the bright blue ....door on the white-washed wall.
..........C.....Gadd11..C/A......F.....Gadd11
Leave the death led.....ger under city hall.
..........C....Gadd11...C/A........F.......Gadd11.....
Leave the joy..ful .....air in that rubber ball today.
>>>>Repeat first part of intro between each part of the verse.
>>>>The rest of the verses use the same chord progression as the first...
Leave the lilac print on the linen sheet.
Leave the bird you killed at your father's feet.
Let the sideways rain in the crooked street remain.
Leave whimpering dog in his cold kennel.
Leave the dead starlet on her pedestal.
Leave the acid kids in their green fishbowls today.
Leave the sad guitar in its hard-shell case.
Leave the worried look on your lover's face.
Let the orange embers in the fireplace remain.
>>Then...
......Am.....................F........
Cause everything must belong somewhere.
....Am.............................F..................Gadd11
The train off in the distance, bicycle chained to the stairs.
Am...Csus2/B...C...........F.........
Everything ....must belong somewhere.
Gadd11......................................
I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
>>Then repeat first part of intro twice.....
Leave the ocean's roar in the turquoise shell.
Leave the widower in his private hell.
Leave the liberty in that broken bell today.
Leave the epic poem on its yellowed page.
Leave the gray macaw in his covered cage.
Let the traveling band on the interstate remain.
>>Then...
......Am.....................F.........
Cause everything must belong somewhere.
......Am.......................F................Gadd11
Sound-stage in California, televisions in Times Square.
Am...Csus2/B...C...........F.........
Everything ....must belong somewhere.
Gadd11..................................Am...
I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
.......F....................Gadd11...............
Yeah I know that now that's why I'm staying here.
Leave the secret talks on the trundle bed.
Leave the garden tools in the rusted shed.
Leave those bad ideas in your troubled head today.
Leave the restless ghost in his old hotel.
Leave the homeless man in his cardboard cell.
Let the painted horse on the carousel remain.
>>Then...
......Am.....................F.........
Cause everything must belong somewhere.
..............Am.............................F.............Gadd11
Just like the gold around her finger and the silver in his hair.
......Am...Csus2/B...C...........F.........
Yeah, everything ....must belong somewhere.
Gadd11..................................Am..
I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
F.......................Gadd11..........C....
I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
>>Then...
...E..................Am...............
In truth, the forrest hears each sound.
.....F.................Gadd11.......
Each blade of grass as it lies down.
....E.................Am.......
The world requires no audience.
...F.............Gadd11....
no witnesses, no witnesses.
Leave the old town drunk on his wooden stool.
Leave the autumn leaves in the swimming pool.
Leave the poor black child in his crumbling school today.
Leave novelist in his daydream tomb.
Leave the scientist in his rubic's cube.
Let true genius in the padded room remain.
Leave horses hair on the slanted bow.
Leave the slot machines on the riverboat.
Leave the cauliflower in the casserole today.
Leave the hot, bright trash in the shopping malls.
Leave the hawks of war in their capitals.
Let the organ's moan in the cathedral remain.
>> Finally.....
......Am.....................F.........
Cause everything must belong somewhere.
................Am...............................F...........Gadd11
They locked the devil in the basement, threw God up into the air.
......Am...Csus2/B....C...........F.........
Yeah, everything .....must belong somewhere.
....Gadd11................................Am...
You know it's true, I wish you'd leave me here.
....F...................Gadd11.............Am...........E........Am
You know it's true, why don't you leave me here..........
