A5            F5
I've tried to mend
A5            G5
The love that ended
A5                              G5 F5
Long ago although we still pretend
A5                              D5
Our love is surely coming to an end
A5                                          E5 E5
Don't waste the time you've got to love again

A5            F5
We tried to lie
A5            G5
But you and I
A5                              G5 F5
Know better than to let each other lie
A5                              D5
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
A5                                          E5 E5
Counting up the time that's passed us by

F5            G5            C5      A5            C5      F5
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
F5            G5      C5      A5            C5      F5
And if it does I hope that you will understand
G5      A5            F5
That I must leave in a while
A5            G5
And though I smile
A5                                    G5 F5
You know the smile is only there to hide
A5                              D5
What I'm really feeling deep inside
A5                                    E5 E5
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
