Intro: (G)  (Am)  (D)  (G)
 
I (G) know things haven't gone like you (Am7) planned
And for (D) that I'm partly to (G) blame
You didn't want to fall in love, not (C) yet
Cause (Am7) you've still got so many dreams to (D) chase
 
And (G) love is a double edged (Am7) sword
It (D) lets you walk through life feeling con(G)tent
But that's a feeling you say you can't aff(C)ord
And (Am7) you'd be better off lonely ag(D)ain
 
 But please don't (G) leave me
 Leave me in (C) love
 Be(D)fore you walk away and break my (G) heart
 Let me give you (C) up (D)
 If you need your (G) freedom
 To find your(C)self
 Re(D)lease me from these chains of (Em) love
 Lord knows I need your (Am7) help (D)
 But please don't (C) leave me
 (D) Don't leave me in (G) love
 
You (G) ask if you can hold me one last (Am7) time
Sweet(D)heart, you know I can't re(G)sist
You say tonight we'll fall asleep as (C) lovers
But tom(Am7)orrow, we'll wake up as fri(D)ends
 
 But please don't (G) leave me
 Leave me in (C) love
 Be(D)fore you walk away and break my (G) heart
 Let me give you (C) up (D)
 If you need your (G) freedom
 To find your(C)self
 Re(D)lease me from these chains of (Em) love
 Lord knows I need your (Am7) help (D)
 But please don't (C) leave me
 (D) Don't leave me in (G) love
 
How (C) can I ever love somebody new
If I (Am7) can't get my heart back from (D) you
 
 But please don't (C) leave (D) me
 Don't (C) leave (D) me
 Don't (Am7) leave (D) me
 Don't leave me in (G) love
