Lyrics to When People Go :

Intro: D A Em G

            D
When people go,
            A
when people leave,
                 Em
make some people cry,
                 G
make some people drink.


            D
When people go,
            A
when people leave,
            Em         G
it's the saddest thing.


            D
When people go,
                   A
is it like they're asleep?
            Em
lost to the world,
               G
in the longest dream.


                   D
Like when boats at sea,
           A
never come back,
        Em        G
is it like that?


   A
I think it's going to be,
        Em
another long night,
   A     
i think it's going to be,
        Em
another long ride.


            D
When people go,
            A
when people leave,
                 Em
make some people cry,
                 G
make some people drink.


            D
When people go,
            A
when people leave,
            Em           G
it's the saddest thing.


[ A Em G D ]

A
Dizzy in the head,
Em
broke in the heart,
G
there's no business,
D
it's all art.


          A
Until it's far behind,
      Em
and it all comes back,
G                      D       A       Em
when people go it's so sad, so sad, so sad, 
   D       A       Em
so sad, so sad, so sad.

        D
And goodnight,
       A
and go home,
    Em        G              D
and there is nothing more to see,
       A
just a song,
     Em
in a box,
     G
some need to cry,
    D
and please,
       A
find a friend,
       Em
have a drink,
    G
and go home,
       D
taking two,
      A
empty hearts,
      Em
go to bed and,
      G
go to bed and.


         D
Well goodnight,
   A
go home,
Em       G               D
there is nothing more to see,
   A
my friend,
       Em
have a drink,
      G
go to bed,
    D          A
and tell them , how
         Em
that you need them ,
G                   D        A Em G
hold them hold them tight,
