C           Dm7
Oh, what you wouldn't give
   Em     F     G   C
To be down on the pier once again
         Dm7
Far away from the cries
    Em     F   G
Of these war-weary hordes
C          Dm7
Time up there in the clouds
    Em     F
Must be hard to endure
  Em      Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Am7
When your heart's unsure___

Verse:
      Fmaj7             Am7
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave
      Fmaj7            Am7
I feel I'm sentenced to a death without appeal
     Fmaj7                Am7
I can pretend it's all a dream, and what I'm seeing will disappear
    Fmaj7          Am7  Fmaj7
But the end I can see is all too real
           Am7  Fmaj7
Knowing you're taking leave
       G    F    C
Knowing you're taking leave
