This is the second song I wrote and it’s supposed to be about going away to college and leaving friendships and high school behind without really saying goodbye.
Leave Me Behind
D D D D / G G G G / D D D D / G G G G
(we were)
D
foreigners together
Em
You were there like no one ever
G G G
was before
G G G G G
You gave me more (even)
D D D
when I’d fall asleep
D Em Em Em
Watching your favorite horror movie
Em G G G
You’d let it slide
G G
Most of the time
CHORUS (first note is D)
Em Em Em Em G
Will we drift apart, and for-get
D Asus2
Or meet back here in a year and watch the sunset
Em G
Will things be the same and res-ist the test of time
D Asus2 G
Or will you change your mind and leeeeeeeave me behind
1 2 3 4 1
D
5 awkward teens walking the halls
Em
Cracking up in bathroom stalls
G
I’ll never say goodbye
G G G
But this is my best try
G D D D
Always fucking with each other
D Em Em Em
I’d live every detail over
Em G G G
But it’s time to go
G G
Just let me know?
CHORUS
Em Em Em Em Em
Will we drift apart, and for-get
D Asus2
Or meet back here in a year and watch the sunset
Em G
Will things be the same and res-ist the test of time
D Asus2 G
Or will you change your mind and leeeeeeeave me behind
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Em G
Leave me behind
Asus D / G / D / ritard G
Leave me behind
