John Mayer - Never on the Day You Leave Chords

[intro]
G  D  A  D

[verse 1]
          G                    D
No, it's never on the day you leave
           A                      D
That you wonder what you still believe in
         G              D            A         A
And you can't remember why you said goodbye
                G              D
You're hear an old, familiar sound
              Bm            D      G
And hope it's her when you turn around
      Bm     A                   D
But never, never on the day you leave

[chorus 1]
G                 D
Love grows in the time it’s been
      Bm                  A
Since you last heard her sing
        G                D
She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
          Bm            A
She don't owe you anything

[interlude]
G  D  A  D

[verse 2]
          G                    D
No, it's never on the day you leave
         A                  D
You can tell how it’s gonna be
            G              D                A     A
To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
                G                  D
You wish you'd given her one more kiss
        Bm         D            G
To put away for a night like this
      Bm     A                   D
But never, never on the day you leave

[chorus 2]
 G                 D
Love grows in the time it’s been
       Bm                A
Since you last held her hand
                  G                   D
She'll fight for you like hell then force herself
    Bm            A  A7sus4
To like some other man

[interlude]
Dsus4  D  G  E  G  Asus4  A

[verse 3]
          G                    D
No, it's never on the day you leave
            A                D
That you remember Christmas Eve
              G               D              A
And all the things you miss about her crazy family
                 G               D
You'll know how lonely it is to see
          Bm           D        G
a little drug store Christmas tree
      Bm     A                   D      G
But never, never on the day you leave
    Bm     A                    D
No never, never on the day you leave

[brigde]
    E                            G
So maybe it'd be better off to write her
      E                                G
And leave a little note right there beside her
            E                                 G
That says "Maybe we're not perfect, but I'll be
 Bm          A    G
Damned if I ever leave
Bm            A    G
Damned if I ever leave
                   D
Damned if I ever leave"
