Wish I was taking you with me
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
There's no place
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
No more goodbyes
No exotic country
I found my journey's end
When I found you
Don't let me go
Won't leave town
Or go around
If you say so
Won't leave you know if you say so
Can't stay always going away
Never knowing the way home
Another hour
Another day
Surely we
Will find a way somehow
Leaving the city today
We're leaving the city
Soon I will be gone
Leaving the city today
Soon I will be gone
(Leaving, leaving, leaving)
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
There's no place
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
There's no place
There's no place
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
I'd rather be
Than here dear
If I call you dear
It's because you are
There's no face
I'd rather see
There's no fear
Don't be afraid to say
Stay another day
Then another day
(Don't be afraid to say it)
Oh hold on
Don't you be gone too long baby
Another kiss
One more caress
An ego no
Another yes
Leaving the city today
Nothing about here to say
A D F C A F
D F C E D C E
We're leaving the city today
Why can't I get you to ask me stay
Don't you want to let the music play
D F C E D C D
We're leaving the city today
Is there something I've left here to say
A D F C A F D F C E D C D
Let the music play
(Don't you want to let the music play?)
Mmmhmm
Soon I will be gone
(I'm leaving)
