Verse
C# F7
--There's nothing left inside me, honey
A#m G# F#
You can call your own
C# F7
--No landmark you can recognize
A#m G# F#
No place that feels like home
D# D#7
You better leave it alone
F#m G#
You better leave, it all
C# C#
Alone
[Verse 2]
C# F7
--There's nothing left that I possess
A#m G# F#
You'll ever want to steal
C# F7
--No one you can talk to here
A#m G# F#
No bargains, no good deals
D# D#7
You better leave it alone
F#m G#
You better leave, it all
C#
Alone
[Chorus 1]
F#7
Because we don't want to press our luck
C#7
And maybe make that well run dry
F#7
Ya know we both been betting on rain
C#7
But there ain't a cloud in the sky
F#7
And how can I convince you
C#7
That you'll be richer by yourself
F#7
Your good faith only makes me poor
C#
Please spend it someplace else
[Verse 3]
C# F7
I got no good dreams to paint your sleep
A#m G# F#
No place to rest your head
C# F7
--Tonight you'd better go on home
A#m G# F#
And cry in your own bed
D# D#7
You better leave it alone
F#m G#
You better leave it all
C# C#
Alone
[Verse 4]
C# F7
--How many tough miles --have we traveled
A#m G# F#
Like bandits side by side
C# F7
--But now our boots are wearing thin
A#m G# F#
We're feeling so dissatisfied
D# D#7
We better leave it alone
F#m G#
We better leave, it all
C#
Alone
[Chorus 2]
F#7
Because we don't want to press our luck
C#7
And maybe make that well run dry
F#7
Ya know we both been betting on rain
C#7
But there ain't a cloud in the sky
F#7
And how can I convince you
C#7
You'll be richer by yourself
F#7
Your good faith only makes me poor
C#
Please spend it someplace else
[Verse 5]
C# F7
--The carnival is leaving town
A#m G# F#
We never got to go
C# F7
--But I've been your fire eater
A#m G# F#
You've been my whole goddamned sideshow
D# D#7
Better leave it alone
F#m G#
You better leave it all
C# C#
Alone
[Verse 6]
C# F7
--The next time I think of you
A#m G# F#
I'll be staying in a blue motel
C# F7
--I'll wonder about how you're cutting your hair
A#m G# F#
Prob'ly even wish you well
D# D#7
Let's leave it alone
F#m
Let's leave, it
G#
All
C#
Alone
[Coda]
F#7
Ya better leave it alone
C#7
Ya better leave it all alone

Ya better leave it a-leave it alone

Ya better leave it all alone

Ya better leave it alone
C#7
Ya better leave it all alone
F#7
Ya better leave it a-leave it alone
