You're hear an o[G]old, familiar so[D]sound
And hope it's [Bm]her when you t[D]turn aro[G]around
But ne[Bm]ver, ne[A]ver on the day you l[D]eave

You can t[A]tell how it’s gonna [D]be
To watch a g[G]irl become a gh[D]ost before your e[A]yes [A]
You wish you'd g[G]given her one more k[D]kiss
To put a[Bm]way for a n[D]ight like thi[G]s
But ne[Bm]ver, ne[A]ver on the day you l[D]eave
Chorus 2

Verse 3
No, it's n[G]never on the day you l[D]leave
That you rem[A]remember Christmas E[D]Eve
And all the th[G]ings you miss ab[D]out her crazy f[A]amily
You'll know how l[G]lonely it is to s[D]see
A little d[Bm]rug store Chr[D]istmas tr[G]ee
But ne[Bm]ver, ne[A]ver on the day you l[D]eave [G]
No n[Bm]ever, n[A]ever on the day you l[D]eave
Brigde
So m[E]maybe it'd be better off to wr[G]write her
And le[E]leave a little note right there bes[G]beside her
That says "M[E]"Maybe we're not perfect, but I'll b[G]be
D[Bm]amned if I e[A]ver l[G]eave
[Bm]Damned if I ev[A]ever le[G]leave
Damned if I ever le[D]leave"
