Intro:

Fmaj7  Gm7 (x2)

Verse 1:

Fmaj7                         Gm7
 It's sad to think, we're not gonna make it,
                               C7            Fmaj7         F7
And it's getting to the point, where we just can't fake it.
Bbmaj7                    Am7     Bbmaj7           Bbm6
 For some ungodly reason, we just won't let it die,
        F
I guess neither one of us, (neither one of us),
Gm7                                Fmaj7  Gm7
 Wants to be the first to say good-bye.

Verse 2:

Fmaj7                            Gm7
 I keep wondering what I'm gonna do without you,
                        C7            Fmaj7          F7
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too.
         Bbmaj7 Am7                     Bbmaj7  Bbm6
So we go on, go on together, living our lie,
                 F
Because I guess, neither one of us, (neither one of us),
Gm7                                Fmaj7  F7
 Wants to be the first to say good-bye.

Bridge 1:

Bbmaj7
 Everytime I find the nerve, everytime, I find the nerve,
   Fmaj7
To say I'm leaving;
Bbmaj7                                  Fmaj7  F7
 Memories, those old memories get in my way.
Bbmaj7
 Lord knows it's only me, only know, it's only me,
Am7
 That I'm deceiving.
Dm                            Dm/maj
 When it comes to saying good-bye,
         Dm7                 Dm6      Gm7
That's a simple word, that I just can-not say.

Verse 3:

Fmaj7
 There can be no way, there can be no way, (be no way),
                  Gm7
This can't have a happy ending,
                  C7              Fmaj7   F7
So we just go on, hurting and pre-tending.
    Bbmaj7            Am7
Con-vincing ourselves,
                Bbmaj7       Bbm6
To give it just one more try.
        F
Because neither one of us, (neither one of us),
Gm7
 Wants to be the first to say;

Coda:

Am7
 Neither one of us, (neither one of us),
D                D7
 Wants to be the first to say;

Bbmaj7              Gm7             C7
 Neither one of us, wants to be the first to;
Fmaj7        Bbm6  C7   Fmaj7
 Farewell my love, good-bye.
