If you think about leaving
F G Dm
Do it quietly in the night

So when I wake in the morning
F G Am
I'll find some comfort in sunlight
[Chorus]

Leave as quietly as you came
C F Am G
Gracefully, choose your time
[Instrumental]
Dm F G Am F G Dm

F G Am
You were quiet all evening
F G Dm
Just watching the fire glow
F G Am
You looked as if you were dreaming
F G Am
And thinking maybe it's time to go
[Chorus]
F G
Leave as quietly as you came
C F Am G
Gracefully, choose your time
[Instrumental]
Dm F G Am F G Dm F G Am F G Dm
[Verse]
F G Am
So if it's time for the going
F G Dm
You don't have to tell me why

What's the point, when I'm knowing
F G Am
It's too late for the long goodbye
[Chorus]
F G
Leave as quietly as you came
C F Am G Dm
Gracefully, choose your time
