Merle Haggard - Leavin's Not The Only Way To Go


       D
Do the mornins still come early
        G
Are the nights not long enough
       D
Does a tear of hesitation
        Em             A
Fall on everything you touch
        D
Well, it might just be a lesson
        G              Em
For the hasty heart to know
       D               A           D
Maybe leavins not the only way to go

Maybe lie and let your feelings
Grow accustomed to the dark
And by mornings light, you might solve 
The problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavins not the only way to go

        D              D7               G
People reach new understandings all the time
                   D            A           D
They take a second look, maybe change their minds
       D               D7            G
People reach new understandings everyday
               D              A       D   
Tell me not to reach babe and Ill go away

Do the mornins still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavins not the only way to go
