EC#mB (x1)
 
EC#mB (x3) Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away
EC#mB (x8)
E *let ring* 
EC#mB You leaving town in just a week, but I cant speak
 
E My words wont work won't bring you back
 
C#mBM I stand in silence and help you pack
 
EC#m I can smell the rain clouds in the sky
 
BE see the tear drops as they tumble down and stain your cheeks
 
C#mB Out of time and out of reach
 
AC#mB Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
 
AC#mB But the irony was lost on cause I didn't wanna hear what she was saying to me
EC#mB (x2)
EC#mB So now I'll sing what I can't say, don't go away
 
EC#mB I need you more than I let on don't know what I'd do if you were gone
 
AC#mB Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
 
AC#mB But her smile was sad and so was I so I shut my eyes cause I didn't wanna cry
 
AC#mB I guess the seeds that we had planted I took for granted
 
AC#mB I didn't see how far we'd come now it's too late and she is gone
EC#mB (x3) Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away
(Nothing is alright) 
EC#mB (x8)
E *let ring* 
EC#mB I never told you this before, but I need you more
 
EC#mB Than I would ever say to you so I wrote this song I could play to you
 
EC#mB I know this song means nothing now, and I don't know how
 
EC#mB But I'll get you back one day no matter what it takes no matter what I gotta say
 
AC#mB Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
 
AC#mB But the irony was lost on me because its not alright why can't she see
EC#mB Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away
(Nothing is alright)
