Bm G
That I'd end up this way
Bm A D A
But I swear I'll come home and then nothing will drag me away
[Chorus]
D Bm
Don't you ever leave me baby
D Bm
Don't you ever leave me now
D Bm
Don't you ever leave me baby
D Bm
If you leave me you will kill me now
The "rap" part:
A G Bm A
Now that so much time has passed, I know that this love of ours will last forever
G Bm A
Because we feel it, need it, hold it and believe it, you need me like I need you
I know you do, I'm sure you do
D A bassline 1

Bm G Bm
On Lexington Avenue and me,
Bm A
I'm all alone
D A
Feeling the tears running down from my eyes
D A bassline 1
The subway train is passing by
Bm G
Driving into the darkness
Bm A D A
I jump inside 'cos I ain't got nowhere to sleep tonight
[Chorus]
D Bm
Don't you ever leave me baby
D Bm
Don't you ever leave me now
D Bm
Don't you ever leave me baby
D Bm
If you'll leave me you will kill me now
The "rap" part revisited:
A G Bm A
I was forcing myself just walk through the day, when all I really wanted to do was curl up in a corner and cry
G
Nothing had any meaning and I just thought let's give it another day and see if anything happens
Bm A
Then you came along like my own ray of sunshine, made me feel warm, safe and alive again
