Burt Bacharach - Knowing when to leave

^Gmaj7Go while the g^A/Going is good^{F#m7 F#m7}Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can ^Am7learn. ^G(add9) Go!

^Gmaj7I'm afraid my he^Cmaj7art isn^Gmaj7't very^Bbmaj9 smart. ^Gmaj7Fly while your^A/G still have ^F#m7your wings ^F#m7Knowing when to leave will never let you reach the point of no^Am7 return. ^G(add9) Fly!

^Gmaj7Foolish as it se^Cmaj7ems, I ^Gmaj7still h^Bbmaj9ave my dreams So I keep hoping,

^Dmaj7Day after day, as I wait^G6/A for the man, I need ^Dmaj7And night after night as^G6/A I wish for a love that can be ^{Dmaj7 G/A}Though I'm sure that no one can ^Dmaj7tell where their wishes and hop^G6/Aes will lead ^Dmaj7Somehow I feel there is ^G6/Ahappiness waiting for me. ^Bbmaj9

^Dmaj7When someone walks in your life, you'd just better be su^G6/Are he's right. ^Dmaj7`cause if he's wrong the^G6/Are's are heartaches and tears you must ^Dmaj7face. ^G/AKeep both of your eyes on the do^Dmaj7or never let it get out of sigh^G6/At ^Dmaj7Just be prepared when the time h^G6/Aas come for you to r^Bbmaj9un away

^Gmaj7Sail when the wi^A/Gnd starts to blow ^{F#m7 Gmaj7}But like a foo^A/Gl I don't know ^F#m7 when^Eb/F to ^C/D leave^Abmaj7.
