Zac Brown Band - Leaving Love Behind

capo: 1st fret

[intro]

F Dm C

[verse (1)]

Dm Bb
Although the years have changed now
C F
And we go by different names
F Dm C
I remember the sound of our roof in the rain
Bb Dm
And my mind goes back in time
C F
To a place so far gone
F Dm
Where the love we left behind us
C
Was still new

[verse (2)]

Dm Bb
We were listening to the record
C F
On the end of your bed
F Dm C
Not giving thought to where it was all going
E Bb Dm
And i wished right then and there so badly
C F
I could read your mind
F Dm C
Just so i could know the things that you were knowing

[chorus]

F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm C F
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm
That everything we lose
C F
Will be a gift in time
F Dm C
But the hardest part is leaving love behind

[verse (3)]

Dm Bb
When it was time to say goodbye
C F
Those words came down like stones
F Dm
I admit for so long after
C
It was hard to feel at home
Bb Dm
We would hear the highway’s song
C F
Shifting down in the night
F Dm C
I was grateful that the echoes broke the quiet

[chorus]

F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm C F
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm
That everything we lose
C F
Will be a gift in time
F Dm C
But the hardest part is leaving love behind

[instrumental]

Dm C Bb C
Dm C Bb Gm C
Dm C

[verse]

Dm Bb
The sun fades on me now
C F
And i miss you like words can’t know
F Dm C
And i missed my shot at dying young a long time ago
Bb Dm
It’s just a lesson learned in love
C F
It’s not angry it’s not sad
F Dm
Some time you have to lose something
C
To know what you have

[chorus]

F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm C F
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
F Dm C
I believe, yes i do
Bb Dm
That everything we lose
C F
Will be a gift in time
F Dm C
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
