Bm           A
Some granite wall

          D                A
Numbs our bones, numbs our all

      Bm            D
As we sit on skinny hands

          F#m
Nothin to say, nothin at all

           Bm           A
oh oh oh   I don't know you

      D              A
and I...I don't want to

           Bm               D
You're so awkward just like me

            F#m
But I don't care

If I'm leaving we don't stop livin, you know


Bm            A
  I've no idea, oh

D              Bm
  That in four years

       D              F#m
I'd be hanging from a beam


Behind the door of number ten

        A               E              Bm               F#m
Singin' well, fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well

      A              E              D (x4)
I am leaving, yes I leave it all to you...

(Chorus)

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
you're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
If I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know

I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)
You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
If I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know

Bass interlude:

Bm         A
As we ride along

           D         A
Under an optimistic sun

           Bm                D         F#m
The radio sings that everybody song by rem

           Bm              A
And here I am fighting, fighting

          D             A
Yes I'm fighting not to cry

           Bm             D
and that's another reason why

           F#m
I ought to hate you like I do

(Chorus)

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
if I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know
I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)
I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)
If we're leaving we don't stop livin', you know
