[Verse 1]
D             Dsus2                
Up on a hill, here's where we begin
D                  Dsus2          
This little story, a long time ago

[Interlude]
G6   G5   G6  G5

Start to pretend, start pretending
D                  Dsus2                
It seems this game is simply neverending

I just can't help it, don't want you here right now

[Chorus]
               D/F# 
Leaving just in time
               Em     
Stay there for a while
              Dmaj7/F#
Rolling in the ocean
                   A   
Trying to catch her eye
                    D/F#   
Work hard and say it's easy
                 Em    
Do it just to please me
                Dmaj7/F#  
Tomorrow will be different
                A          
So I'll pretend I'm leaving

       D               
I feel so different now
              Dsus2
We trained at AVA
           D            
I wish you hadn't stayed
            Dsus2                  G6   
My vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid

[Interlude]
G5   G6  G5
D                 Dsus2                     
Flyin' over seas, no time to feel the breeze
D               Dsus2    
I took too many varieties

[Interlude]
G6   G5   G6
G5       D                     Dsus2

D                     Dsus2                        
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
       G6         G5 
Let me go, wooooooooo
Darling let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving just in time
               Em     
Stay there for a while

Rolling in the ocean
                   A   
Trying to catch her eye

Work hard and say it's easy

Do it just to please me

Tomorrow will be different
                A          
So I'll pretend I'm leaving
