Tom: F5

Introdu??o: F5  |  Bb5

F5                              G5     
It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
    Bb5
And it's got into the point
      C5   
Where we just can't take it
  Bb5              A5                   Bb5   Bb5
For some ungodly reason, We just won't let it die
F5               G5
I guess neither one of us 
                            Bb5            F5  |  Bb5
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye
F5                         G5           
I keep wondering What I'm gonna do without you
    Bb5                            F5        C5
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
F5       Bb5
So we go on
   A5                 Bb5  Bb5
Go on together Living our lie
     F5                G5
Because I guess neither one of us 
                                 Bb5         F5  |  C5  |  F5
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye
Bb5
Everytime I find the nerve
               F5
Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
  C5
Memories
            Bb5             F5
Those old memories get in my way
F5   Bb5
Lord knows it's only me
              A5
Only know it's only me That I'm deceiving
        D5               D5
When it comes to saying goodbye
      D5               D5         Bb5
That?s a simple word that I just cannot say
F5
There can be no way
               G5
This can?t have a happy ending
No, no, So we just go on
Hurting and pretending
Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because I guess neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love, Goodbye
