You were go - ing on your way, now you've got to re - main.

DM7         Fdim(III)     C#7       Em7/6         Em7 Em7sus4 A7/6
Just as you          were go - ing, leav - ing me all   at    sea,

The clouds broke, they broke, and oh what a break for me.

D9    D6      DM7 D7 Dm6     D9          E7/6    Fdim  A   F#m  Em7  F#7
I can see the sun up high, though we're caught in the storm.

Let the rain pit - ter pat - ter, 

Em7     D9       Am7        D9       D7/9     GM7 Bm7-5 E7/9
But it real - ly does - n't mat - ter if the skies are  grey.

G            G/F#     Em7  Edim    Em7   A7  D
Long as I can be with you, it's a love - ly day.
