[A]For so long we [E]worked so hard
[B]We didn't have a dime
[A]But we had one [E]anothers love
[B]And that was all the time.
[A]Then one day our[F#m] ship came in
The [D]answer to our dr[Bm]eams
[A]A mansion filled with [F#m]social life and[D] gold and limous[E]ines.
[D]Why did you [C#m]leave me [G]today
[G]I was going to g[Gm]ive you the [D]wor[A]ld
[D]I watched my [C#m]dream slip a[G]wa[Gm]y
All I can [D]say why did you [A]leave [D]toda[G]y.[D]
[A]As I walked thru these [E]grand old halls
[B]I feel so cold inside
[A]I stare upon these [E]grand old walls
[B]And all the costly prizes
[A]I realize I [F#m]gladly trade [D]them, these worldly things
[A]To lie beside you [F#m]one more time
And [D]share only our drea[E]ms.
[D]Why did you [C#m]leave me [G]today
[G]I was going to g[Gm]ive you the [D]world[A]
[D]I watched my [C#m]dream slip a[G]wa[Gm]y
All I can [D]say why did you [A]leave [D]toda[G]y.[D]
