G G     Em Em
You left for camp, you left for school
Am Am D D
Left for the coast when that was cool then
G G Em Em
You left women, one a wife
Am Am D D
To save your skin you wrecked a life and
Am Am C C
then there's kids its not just one
G G D D
life that you wreck you're on the run
Am AmC C
You go to town to start anew
G G D D
those you left come after you

G G Em Em
Its what you think its how you feel
C C D D
though who can say if its all real
G G Em Em
The darndest thing kids grow up
Am Am D D
One day some strange adults show up
G G Em Em
The ones you left are right in town
Am Am D D
that's nice you say they'll be around
Am AmC C
perhaps they just a bit bereft but
G G D D
they'll forgive the one who left
Am Am C C
sad stories can have happy ends
G G D D
perhaps now you can just be friends
G G Em Em
Its what you want its how you feel
Am Am D D
whats more you hope your theory's real


F F C C
Who would have thought or could believe
G G D D
Things go so badly when you leave
F F C C
the skin you saved is growing slack and
G G D D
those you left don't want you back

G G Em Em
Your power's gone it was pro tem
Am Am D D
The wife you left meant more to them
G G Em Em
Its not just that they side with her
Am Am D D
you left and who knew where you were
Am AmC C
The reason that they came to town
G G D D
was just to make that place their own
Am Am C C
You realised your greatest fear
G G D D
you are so close but hardly here
G G Em Em
It's what you think it's how you feel
Am Am D D
and what's worse is you know its real
