Verse 1
D 
A

Building love across a backyard fence
D

You read your books
G 
behind closed doors
D

You lived in love with some regret
D 
A

I'd do it all again, she said
Em 
G 
And as I turned around to go I
A 
D 
heard her singing sweet and low
A 
Oh, oh, oh,

oh I don't wanna leave this earth
Oh
A 
Lord, oh
G

G 
He played the game, he played to win
D

And  now he's fighting hard,
G 
he fights to live
D 
A 
G 
And now they're beating down his door
Em

I wanna see my son grow old

I don't wanna leave this earth
D 
With all the endless summer days
Em 
Watching winter while it fades
D 
Autumn sunlight through the trees
Bm 
The scent of springtime on the breeze
G 
It's real life that sets you free
A 
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
Can I take it all on me?

Watchin' babies while they sleep
Em 
Chasin' fireflies through the streets
D 
Sleepin' under star -filled skies
Bm 
That moment real love arrives
A

It's not as if I didn't know
That I'd have to let you
A 
D 
A 
G 
go
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
Now I was born with a broken heart
D 
A 
G 
It's not a pretty way to start
D 
A 
G 
And  deep down inside I always knew one thing,
D 
A 
G 
D 
beautiful joy my life would be.
Em 
G 
And when it's my time to go,
A 
D 
you hear me singing sweet in love

to leave this earth

A 
D 
this earth
you
