Faron Young — Leaving and Saying Goodbye

G                               D7  
So many times I've told I was leavin'  
                                 G  
And oh so many times how I have tried 
                 G7                 C  
But sayin' your leavin's so much easier  
                  D7           G  
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye 
  
 D7                                 C                  G  
Cause every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet 
           A7                                         D7  
Till I go runnin' back like a runaway child that's afraid 
to cross the street 
   G                                      D7  
My mind might tell my lips to say it's over  
                                G  
My heart would only say it's a lie 
                   G7                 C  
Cause sayin' your leavin's so much easier  
                  D7           G  
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye 
  
 D7                                 C                   G  
Cause every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet 
           A7                                         D7  
Till I go runnin' back like a runaway child that's afraid 
to cross the street 
   G                                      D7  
My mind might tell my lips to say it's over  
                               G  
My heart would only say it's a lie 
                   G7                C  
Cause sayin' your leavin's so much easier  
                  D7         G  
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye 
  
 C             D7         G  
Leavin' and sayin' goodbye
