Leaving and Saying Goodbye
Recorded by Faron Young
Written by Jeannie Seely
 
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                                      
Till I go runnin' back like a runaway child 
       D7
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                                      
Till I go runnin' back like a runaway child 
       D7 
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
