Verse 1:
       D         G           D      D
It's a lesson too late for the learning,
        A  A        D   D
made of sand, made of sand.
       D         G             D     D
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
        A  A        D   D
In your hand, in your hand.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           D       D           A   A
Will there be not a trace left behind?
  D                   G               A           F#m
I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
G           G               D
That was the last thing on my mind.

Verse 2:
You've got reasons aplenty for going.
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growing.
Please don't go, please don't go.

Repeat Refrain

Verse 3:
As I lie here in bed in the morning
without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a borning
without you, without you.
