When I Saw You Leaving For Nisey

C F C Bb C Bb


[Verse 1]
         F                         
Ain't it funny how, one minute, 
  C
your whole life's looking fine
      Bb                    C
And a short few words later it all 
just comes untied?
    F                           
You can't believe you're looking 
 C
what was always someone else
         Bb                        
Now it's staring right there at 
  C
you, yesterday you couldn't tell
   F                         
So shocked and disillusioned, 
 C
helpless and confused
    Bb                      C
Not knowing how and what to say, not
 accepting that it's true
          F                        
You can't help but see the worst to
        C
 come a thousand different ways
    Bb                        
The same time trying to hold a 
 C
strong and optimistic gaze


[Chorus]
Bb             C        Bb      
When I saw you leaving, when I 
       C
saw you leaving
Bb             C             F
When I saw you leaving in my mind


[Verse 2]
        F                       
And the anger starts to surface, 
         C
looking up, asking why
        Bb                       C
And you realize He probably wants 
the best, as same as I
F                        C
Days just go by quickly, nights just
 never end
   Bb                              
As time gets so more precious, 
  C
every sunrise, an old friend
F                                  
Trying to be a post, to lean on, a 
C
part you learn that's hard to play
       Bb                          
Asking God to let you take her 
     C
place or just take it all away
F                                 
Hope you'll wake up in the 
      C
morning, was all just been a dream
    Bb                          
You never take for granted every 
  C
second that you breathe


[Chorus]
Bb             C        Bb      
When I saw you leaving, when I 
       C
saw you leaving
Bb             C             F
When I saw you leaving in my mind


[Solo]
F   C   Bb  C G  D   Am C   D   D


[Verse 3]
        G
And the seconds turn to minutes
    D
And minutes wouldn't last
        C                         
And the hours, days and weeks and 
D
months
      D
Seem endless and too fast
        G
And the blessings poured from Heaven
         D
Like the rain on that first spring
           C
Since that moment I first thought 
you
    D
You might not always be with me


[Chorus]
C              D        C       
When I saw you leaving, when I 
       D
saw you leaving
C              D             G   
When I saw you leaving in my 
 D      G    D
mind, in my mind


[Outro]
         G              D
Ain't it funny how, one minute, your
 whole life's looking fine
      G                        D  
And a short few words later it all
                 G
 just comes untied?
