Bm A G (2x)


[Verse 1]

Bm                    A
There was rain on the street last night
G
We stood beneath the front door light
Bm                A            G
And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard
Bm                 A
You called me this, I called you that
G
Standing on the welcome mat
Bm            A                G                     G/F#
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word
Em
But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it


[Chorus]

D   A        G
You know I tried my best to go away
D A          G                       G/F#
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
Em                          D
It should have been easy to say that we were through
       Em                      A
But to walk away from love was more than we could do
       G A        Bm
It was almost goodbye
G A          Bm
Almost goodbye

[Verse 2]

Bm                            A
Now there was sun through the blinds this morning
G
When I opened up my eyes
Bm              A             G
Outside I could hear a mockingbird
Bm                    A        G
And I could feel your heartbeat as you laid there by my side
Bm                   A                    G             G/F#
I thought of how the world could end with just one word
Em
But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it


[Chorus]

D   A      G
You know I tried my best to go away
D A        G                         G/F#
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
Em                          D
It should have been easy to say that we were through
       Em                               A
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do
       G A    Bm
It was almost goodbye
       G A    Bm
It was almost goodbye


[Interlude]

[Bridge]

Em                           A
Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken


[Chorus]

(Up one step)
E   B      A
You know I tried my best to go away
E B        A                         A/G#
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
F#m                          E
It should have been easy to say that we were through
       F#m                              B
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do
       A B   C#m
It was almost goodbye
A B    C#m
Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was
A B    C#m
Almost goodbye, oh oh
A B   E
Almost goodbye.
