A            F
I've tried to mend
A            G
The love that ended
A                              G F
Long ago although we still pretend
A                              Dm
Our love is surely coming to an end
A                                          E4 E
Don't waste the time you've got to love again

A            F
We tried to lie
A            G
But you and I
A                              G F
Know better than to let each other lie
A                              Dm
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
A                                          E4 E
Counting up the time that's passed us by

F            G            C      Am            C      F
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
F            G      C      Am            C      F
And if it does I hope that you will understand
G      A            F
That I must leave in a while
A            G
And though I smile
A                                    G F
You know the smile is only there to hide
A                              Dm
What I'm really feeling deep inside
A                                    E4 E
Just a face where I can hang my pride

Goodbye...
Goodbye...

We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free

You'll see the day another way
