Verse 1: C B7 G Am7 If I leave tomorrow, would you be alright? C B7 Would you be filled with sorrow? G Am7 Would you put up a fight? C B7 G Am7 How can I protect you when I don't feel alright? Chorus: C B7 If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? G Am7 Or would you disappear right beside me? C B7 Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady? G Am7 Lover, please prepare for my absence Verse 2: C B7 G Am7 If I left the country, would you search and search? C B7 G Am7 Or would you give up easy and find me in the dirt? C B7 Would I live forever? G Am7 Or blend right into earth? Chorus: C B7 If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? G Am7 Or would you disappear right beside me? C B7 Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?
