*Released 1973*


Intro:

Fmaj7  Gm7 (x2)

Verse 1:

Fmaj7
 It's sad to think,
          Gm7
We're not gonna make it,
And it's got into the point,
C7             Fmaj7          F7
 Where we just can't fake it.

Bbmaj7
 For some ungodly reason,
Am7      Bbmaj7            Bbm6
 We just won't let it die,
        F/C
I guess neither one of us,
(Neither one of us),
Gm7
 Wants to be the first,
            Fmaj7  Gm7
To say good-bye.

Verse 2:

Fmaj7
 I keep wondering what,
          Gm7
I'm gonna do without you,
And I guess you must be,
C7             Fmaj7          F7
 Wondering the same thing too.

         Bbmaj7 Am7
So we go on, go on together,
           Bbmaj7  Bbm6
Living our lie,
Because I guess,
F/C
 Neither one of us,
(Neither one of us),
Gm7
 Wants to be the first,
            Fmaj7  F7
To say good-bye.

Bridge 1:

Bbmaj7
 Everytime I find the nerve,
Everytime, I find the nerve,
   Fmaj7
To say I'm leaving;
Bbmaj7
 Memories, those old memories,
          Fmaj7  F7
Get in my way.

Bbmaj7
 Lord knows it's only me,
Only know, it's only me,
Am7
 That I'm deceiving.
Dm
 When it comes to,
            Dmin/maj
Saying good-bye,
         Dm7
That's a simple word,
       Dm6      Gm7
That I just can-not say.

Verse 3:

Fmaj7
 There can be no way,
There can be no way, (be no way),
                  Gm7
This can't have a happy ending,
So we just go on,
C7               Fmaj7    F7
 Hurting and pre-tending,
    Bbmaj7             Am7
Con-vincing ourselves,
                Bbmaj7        Bbm6
To give it just one more try.
        F/C
Because neither one of us,
(Neither one of us),
Gm7
 Wants to be the first to say;

Coda:

Am7
 Neither one of us,
(Neither one of us),
D                D7
 Wants to be the first to say;

Bbmaj7
 Neither one of us,
Gm7              C7
 Wants to be the first to;
Fmaj7        Bbm6
 Farewell my love,
C7    Fmaj7
 Good-bye.
