Intro: G  D  A  D 


[Refrão]
 
        G                    D 
No it's never on the day you leave 
         A                       D 
That you wonder what you still believe in 
        G              D                 A 
And you can't remember why you said goodbye 
               G            D                   A            Bm    G 
You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around 
    D      A                    D 
But never, never on the day you leave 

Verso 1: 
G                 D 
Love grows in the time it's been 
      Bm                   A 
Since you last heard her sing 
       G                D 
She'll cut her hair and move somewhere 
          Bm         A 
She don't owe you anything

        G                     D 
No it's never on the day you leave 
        A                   D 
You can tell how it's gonna be 
           G              D                A 
To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes 
               G                  D 
You wish you'd given her one more kiss 
       A          Bm         G 
To put away for a night like this 
    D      A                     D 
But never, never on the day you leave 

Verso 2: 
G                 D 
Love grows in the time it's been 
      Bm                 A 
Since you last held her hand 
                 G 
She'll fight for you like hell 
     D                Bm              A 
Then force herself to like some other man

        G                     D 
No it's never on the day you leave 
           A                 D 
That you remember Christmas Eve 
             G                D              A 
And all the things you miss about her crazy family 
                G               D            A          Bm        G 
You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree 
     Bm    A                    D 
But never, never on the day you leave 
   Bm     A                    D 
No never, never on the day you leave 

Ponte: 
    E                          G 
So maybe it'd be better off to write her 
    E                                 G 
And leave a little note right there beside her 
          E                                G 
That says maybe we're not perfect but I'll be 
D           A    G 
Damned if I ever leave 
D           A    G 
Damned if I ever leave 
D           D/A  D 
Damned if I ever leave
