Verse 1
(G major) (E minor) (G major) Leave you, (E minor) leave you,
how could I leave you? (A flatdim)
(G major) What would I (C major) do (E flatdim) on my (G major) own?
Could I pass the years away
with a (C major) quick goodbye? (A major)
(D major) How do you wipe (E minor) tears away
(A major) when your eyes are (Dsus4) dry? (D major)
(G major) Sweetheart, lover, (D major) (G major) could I recover? (D major)
(C major) Give up the (E flatdim) joys I have known?
(G major) Not (D major) to get your (G major) pills again
every (B flatdim) day at five?
(D major) Not to give those (E minor) Den nis Forten
elderly (Baug) men (E major) from the U .N.
(A major) How could I (Dsus4) survive?
(D major) Leave (G major) you, leave you
And your shelves of the
(C major) world's best books
(E minor) (C major) And those evenings
of (F sharpdim) martyred (F sharp minor) looks
(Bsus4) Skep (F sharpdim) tic sigh (B major) s, (E major) sullen looks
from those injured eyes
Could I (A flatdim) leave (C sharpsus4) with the quips,
jokes with the (A flatdim) sneer
Passion (F sharp major) less lovemaking once a year
Leave the lies, (E flatsus4) ill -concealed
And the wound must never heal,
that the game's not worth winning,
and (D major) wait! (G major) (C major)
(A minor) I'm just (D major) be (G major) ginning. (D major)
(G major) Leave you, leave you,
how could I leave you?
(C major) What would I (A minor) do (Adim) on my (G major) own?
Would (D major) I pass the (G major) time away
in (B flatdim) the south of France?
(D major) Or would I think of (E minor) sui cide?
(A major) Darling, shall we (D major) dance? (Dsus4)
Could I (D major) live with the pain
(E flatdim) on (D major) a ter (E flatdim) race in Spain?
(F sharpdim) It could (A minor) pass, (F sharpdim) it (D major) might (E flatdim) pass
Could (D major) I (G major) bury my (D major) rage
with a boy half your age
In (G major) the grass (B major) back (G major) yard? (Baug)
(G major) But I've done (C major) that already (G major)
(C major) Didn't you (Bsus4) know, love? (B major)
Darling, how could (E minor) I leave
when (A major) I left long (Dsus4) ago?
Oh, (D major) leave (G major) you, leave you
No, the point is, could you (C major) leave me?
Well, I guess (E minor) you could (F sharpdim) leave me
the (B major) house (Bsus4)
(B major) Leave me the (F sharpdim) flat,
(E major) leave me the Bronx
The Chagalls and all that
You could leave (A flatdim) me the (C sharpsus4) stock s,
for sentiment's sake
And (F sharp major) ninety percent of the
money you make
And the rugs, (E flatsus4) and the cooks
Darling, you keep the drugs, honey
You keep the books, (D major)
(E major) I'll take the grand, sweetie
You keep the spinet (D major)
An (E major) d all of your friend (E minor) s
Leave (G major) you, (D major) leave you
(G major) How could I (D major) leave you?
(G major) Darling, (E flatdim) I'll have to confess
(E minor) Could (A major) I leave (B major) you? (E minor)
Could I (D major) leave (Dsus4) (D major) you?
Could I leave you? (A minor) (C major)
Yes. You
