in the chorus, sometimes D sounds like Bm and vice versa...


A5                          D5
There's no going back to there
              A5            D5
Some of them can't even react
        A5            D5
Didn't say it's not OK
           A5                D5
But we are dealing the same way

I ain't telling you GOODBYE

(main riff)

It's the last thing on my mind

Still you won't let things unwind

Instead it stayed around your head

Can't you hear a word I said  (CHORUS)

(main riff)

When you call, it's just not fair

It's the last thing you should share

I can't deal, I'll let you know

Still I wish you'd let it go (CHORUS)


      D5
I'm telling you for one last time
A5                                            E5
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER
   D5
I waited it out long as I could
A5                                     E5
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE

solo: 
D5 A5 E5 D5 A5 E5 A5

A5                          D5
There's no going back to there

Some of them can't even react
        A5            D5
Didn't say it's not OK
           A5                D5
But we are dealing the same way (CHORUS)

Goodbye...Goodbye...Goodbye...


      D5
I'm telling you for one last time
A5                                            E5
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER
   D5
I waited it out long as I could
A5                                     E5
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE


      D5
I'm taking away alot of stuff
     A5                                     E5
I'm telling you it's rough or not, you're GONE

I'm sure of all the lyrics except for two parts:
        Where it goes:  cause HER
                        you're GONE
