Great Song. I grew up loving it and it's super fun to play. I play it with mostly bar chords to give it some flavor. Go ahead and throw in some hammer-ons and pull-offs and make it fun. Perfect example how you can use key changes and simple progressions to make clever songs that are also catchy. Also an example of how they just don't make 'em like they used to;) Enjoy! If You Leave Standard tuning Intro: F Dm Bb C (repeat) D D A G A Verse 1:(Key of F) F Dm If you leave, don't leave now Bb C Please don't take my heart away F Dm Promise me just one more night Am Bb Then we'll go our separate ways F Dm With hours left time on our sides Bb C Now it's fading fast F Dm Every second every moment Bb C We've got to--we've gotta make it last Chorus 1: (Key change to D) D D I touch you once I touch you twice A G A I won't let go at any price D D I need you now like I needed you then A G A D G You always said we'd still be friends someday Verse 2: (Key change to G) G Em If you leave I won't cry C D I won't waste one single day G Em But if you leave don't look back Bm C I'll be running the other way G Em Seven years went under the bridge C D Like time was standing still G Em Heaven knows what happens now C D You've got to--you've gotta say you will Chorus 2: E E I touch you once I touch you twice B A B I won't let go at any price E E I need you now like I needed you then B A You always said we'd meet again Sax solo in E....
