1. It's a [C] lesson too [F] late for the [C] learning

[F] Made of [C] sand,[G] made of [C] sand.

In the wink of an [F] eye my soul is [C] turning,

[F] In your [C] hand, [G] in your [C] hand.

Chorus: Are you [G] going away with no [F] word of fare[C]well,

Will there [F] be not a [C] trace left [G] behind.

I [F] couldn't love you better, didn't [C] mean to be unkind,

You [C] know that was the [G] last thing on my [C] mind.

2. You have [C] reason, so [F] plenty, for [C] going,

[F] this I [C] know, [G] this I [C] know.

The winds have been [F] steadily [C] growing,

[F] Please don't [C] }go, [G] please don't [C] go.... Chorus

3. As I [C] lie in my [F] bed in the [C] morning,

[F] without [C] you, [G] without [C] you.

Every song in my [F] breath starts a-[C]forming,

[F] without [C] you, [G] without [C] you... Chorus

Outro: You [C] know that was the [G] last thing on my [C]mind.
