[Verse 1]
Ab             Ab/C               Db   Eb/Db
   I'd rather leave while I'm in love,
         Cm          Fm           Bbm        Eb
While I still believe the meaning of the word.
Ab               Ab/C              Db   Eb/Db
   I'll keep my dreams and just pretend,
     Cm       Fm      Bbm          Csus C
That you and I   are never gonna end.

[Chorus]
F           F/A
  Too many times I've seen,
     Gm              C
The rose die on the vine.
F             F/A
  Somebody's heart gets broken,
Gm               C
   Usually it's mine.
Gb                 Bbm
   I don't want to take the chance,
    Abm         Bb
Of being hurt again.
    Ebsus   Eb      Bbm     Eb
And you and I can't say goodbye.

[Verse 2]
Ab          Ab/C              Db   Eb/Db
  So if you wake and find me gone,
      Cm        Fm            Bbm         Eb
Oh baby carry on   you see I need my fantasy.
Ab            Ab/C
   I still believe,
Db               Eb                 Ab
  It's best to leave while I'm in love.
