Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am][Am]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Layin' in the afte[D]r glow[C]
I only wanna [Bm]learn what you [Am]know
But now you're leavin'
[Em]How many heart[D]s must you break[C]
And how many [Bm]calls must I [Am]make

[Pre-chorus 1]
But now you're leavin'
[G]In this world
all that I choose has come [C]un bearable
But love is in [Bm]your touch
Ooh, it's [Am]killing me so [B]much

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, only when you [Em]leave
I'll need to [D]love you
And when the [C]action has all [Bm]gone
I'm just a little [Am]fool enough to need you
[B]A fool enough too long
Only when you [Em]leave,
you'll [D]leave in danger
Ooh, I'll [C]make sure that you [Bm]pay
So give a little [Am]passion to a stranger
[B]And take this soul away

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Em]I only wanna make [D]things last[C]
So how could this have [Bm]gone so [Am]fast
And now you're leavin'
[Em]How many times[D] must I lear[C]n
It's only when you've [Bm]gone that I [Am]burn

[Pre-chorus 2]
But now you're leavin'
[G]In the end,
all that is [G]left has come [C]un bearable
It's hard to change your [Bm]mind
So [Am]leave it all be[B]hind

[Chorus 2]
Ooh, only when you [Em]leave
I'll need to [D]love you
And when the [C]action has all [Bm]gone
I'm just a little [Am]fool enough to need you
[B]A fool enough too long
Only when you [Em]leave,
you'll [D]leave in danger
Ooh, I'll [C]make sure that you [Bm]pay
So give a little [Am]passion to a stranger
[B]And take this soul away

[Solo 1]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am][Am]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am][Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Layin' in the afte[D]r glow[C]
I only wanna [Bm]learn what you [Am]know
But now you're leavin'
[Em]How many heart[D]s must you break[C]
And how many [Bm]calls must I [Am]make

[Pre-chorus 3]
But now you're leavin'
[G]In this world
all that I [G]choose has come [C]un bearable
But love is in [Bm]your touch
Ooh, it's [Am]killing me so [B]much

[Chorus 3]
Ooh, only when you leave
[Em]I'll need to love [D]you
And when the [C]action has all [Bm]gone
I'm just a little [Am]fool enough to need you
[B]A fool enough too long
Only when you [Em]leave,
you'll [D]leave in danger
Ooh, I'll [C]make sure that you [Bm]pay
So give a little [Am]passion to a stranger
And [B]take this soul away

[Outro 1]
[Em][D][C][Bm]
[Am]Uh, [B]no, no, no, no
Only when you [Em]leave,
you'll [D]leave in danger
Ooh, I'll [C]make sure that you [Bm]pay
So give a little [Am]passion to a stranger
[B]And take this soul away
[Repat and fade]
