VERSE:
G               Em
Oh, why do they leave?
G               Em
Oh, why do they leave?
C                          Am        D     C  Csus2  Am
On the day that you needed them, the most.

CHORUS:
G                                                  C
Simple cards and things, rose coloured sunsets, no flowers for me
G                                                  C
Simple cards and things, rose coloured sunsets, no flowers for me

Lover, why do you leave?
Am                C
Lover, why do you leave?

On the day that I want you for me

VERSE:
G                Em
Say, say it ain't so
G                       Em
That he will take you tomorrow
C                     Am       D      C  Csus2  Am
And I will sit here today, the worst

CHORUS:
G                                                  C
Simple cards and things, rose coloured sunsets, no flowers for me
G                                                    C
Simple cards and things, rose coloured sunsets, it's curtains for me
Am                C
Lover, why do you leave?
Am                C
Lover, why do you leave?
       D          C     Csus2      Am
On the day that I want you to be, the world
