Leave It Alone

E  E9 E

E                         D
I'd walk the water to get back to you
    A
And where I was complete
E                             D
We found you scattered by the highway side
    A
Too soon to be released
E                          D
Gathered the pieces up and clean the places
A
Where you were undone
E                                            
And washed the wreckage out
   D               A
Unfinished all the thoughts that we'd begun

C#m       B                G#m
I came to burn the sky and tear away
    A
The beauty that it sows
C#m        B
If I could rape the day
    G#m               A
And find the things I thought I'd always known

C#m       B                  G#m
Leave it alone again tonight
          A
Leave it alone again tonight
C#m       B                 G#m  A
Leave it alone again tonight

E                            D
I laid your arms out long untwisted there
    A
And shaped what I could find
E                          D
Unmade the most of it then left the rest
    A
The parts unrecognized
E                         D
My reconstruction was the only way
    A
For one last look at you
E                                
I lost the sense of it
    D          A
The absolution that we never knew

C#m       B                 G#m
Leave it alone again tonight
          A
Leave it alone again tonight
C#m    B                  G#m
And it takes me back from this place here
     A
From this place here

Solo: E C Bm D 4x 

C#m       B                          G#m
I came to burn the sky and tear away
    A
The beauty that it sows
C#m        B
If I could rape the day
    G#m               A
And find the things I thought I'd always known

C#m       B                 G#m
Leave it alone again tonight
          A
Leave it alone again tonight
C#m       B                 G#m
Leave it alone again tonight
          A
Leave it alone again tonight
       C#m                B
And it takes me back from this place here
     G#m                A
From this place here it takes me over
C#m              B
Might be lost in this place here
     G#m                A
From this place here it takes me on

  C#m B G#m A
Tonight leave it alone 4x

C#m B G#m A
