intro: E5      G#5      E5      E5      F#5 
 
B5               E5 
I've been bound to leave you 
D#5                    E5 
We've known that for a while 
G#5                     G#5 
I'm sure it's something I can't do 
           E5             F#5 
If I can't leave you with a smile 
        B5            E5 
I don't know how far I'll have to go 
         G#5                   C#5 
Till I'm sure those eyes won't cry 
          E5             G#5 
And in my mind I've left enough to know 
             C#5 
That I can't leave you 
F#5             B5 
With a bad goodbye 
    E5         G#5 
Goodbye, easier said than done 
    C#5                       F#5 
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one 
          D#5          G#5 
Whose goodbye you swore would never come 
    C#5       E5               F#5 
And in my goodbye you're finding none  
I'm still bound to leave you 
I surely don't know how 
My heart won't let me put you through 
What my mind said should happen now 
I don't know where we'll go from here 
There may be no way to fly 
And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear 
That I can't leave you 
With a bad goodbye 
 
repeat chorus 
 
How can we be so far between 
Where we are and one more try 
And any way I look, I've only seen 
That I can't leave you 
With a bad goodbye
