Chorus:
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Devote to me
Alone with me
Say with me
"Why would you ever want to leave?"

Chorus:
                    Am
You leave with the tide
              G
And I can't stop you leaving
                     Dm
I can see it in your eyes
                  Am
Some things have lost their meaning

Am
Fade out of view
           G
I wouldn't do that to you
                 Dm
I wouldn't just leave us alone
                  Am
When we could be close, close, close

Hold me close
When you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close?
