G
Oh you say that you're going away and leave me
                                   D7
And you say you ain't never coming back
            G                         C
That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing
           G          D7           G
And you're gonna head off down the track

                                                           D7
But darling before you go be sure you know how much I love you
                                            G
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had
                                           C
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
           G                D7              G
So take it slow be sure you know before you go


Oh your wounded pride has blinded your reason
                                         D7
And right now you want to hurt me if you can
        G                                  C
The man is waiting here to take you to the station
           G                 D7             G
And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand
