I Can’t Find the Words To Say Goodbye
(David Gates)
[Intro] A+9 Esus4 C#m D Bm F#m E7
A+9 Esus4 C#m D
Can’t say I don’t love her
Bm Esus4 A
Still I can’t pretend
A Esus4 C#m D
And my heart is torn just knowing that
Bm F#m E7
I’m losing my best friend
A Esus4 C#m D
If it's easier said and done
A C#m D
Then someone tell me why
Bm
Though I try,
E E7 A Esus4 C#m D
I can’t find the words to say goodbye
A+9 Esus4 C#m D
I could tell her that I’m sor ry
Bm Esus4 A
And hope she’ll understand
A Esus4 C#m D
She will have to do with someone else
Bm F#m E7
All that we have planned
A Esus4 C#m D
I’d rather her hear the truth
A C#m D
Than hurt her with a lie
Bm
So I tried,
E E7 A
But I can’t find the words to say goodbye
C#m D
Now I know
C#m F#m
I have to go
Bm F#m E7
Theres no other way
C#m D C#m F#m Bm F#m E7 E E7 E
But goodbye is not what I can bring myself to say...
A+9 Esus4 C#m D
If I told her "see you la ter"
Bm Esus4 A
Then I might be wrong
A Esus4 C#m D
cause this voice inside is driving me
Bm F#m Esus4
To find where I belong
A C#m D
I know I must leave her now
A C#m D
but every time I try
Bm
Don’t know why,
E7 A F#m
I but I can’t find the words to say goodbye
Bm
Don’t know why,
E E7 A
I can’t find the words to say goodbye
Esus4 C#m D Bm F#m E7 A
