     G                            C9 
It's killin' me to write the word goodbye,
     G                            C9
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries.
G        
We both know the reason,
            C9
There ain't nothing to explain.
    G  
But I know that my leavin'
     C                 D
Will spare us both the pain.

Chorus:
     Em           C            D4    D 
(Desiree) I can't hold you any longer.
     Em                C        D4  D
(Desiree) You love his money more than me.
        G             Am7
And the taxi's at the gate,
        G                C
I guess all that's left to say
      G                C             D4  
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
   D               C9
'I love you Desiree'.


G  C9  

        G                         C9
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad,
         G                        C9
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have.
       G 
And to write this note to you,
        C9
Was the hardest thing to do.
           G
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
            C                D
Who can't afford a girl like you

                      G  C(9) G C(9)
God, I love you Desiree.

G                              C9
I won't be around for your goodbye.
Love his money more than me
G                              C9 
I won't be around for your goodbye.
                             G
You love his money more than me.
                               C9
I won't be around for your goodbye.
                               G
I was just a fool who couldn't see
                               
I won't be around for your goodbye
       C9                          G
Oh you love his money, you love it more than me.


G  C9 (x8)
