INTRO: Bm A G    Bm A G 
 
Bm                           A 
There was rain on the street last night 
G 
We stood beneath the front door light 
Bm                      A                   G 
And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard 
Bm                        A 
You called me this, I called you that 
G 
Standing on the welcome mat 
Bm                A                   G                              G G/F# 
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word 
Em 
But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it 
 

                D    A           G 
CHORUS: You know I tried my best to go 
                D A              G              G        G/F# 
                I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so 
                Em                                   D 
                It should have been easy to say that we were through 
                         Em                                A 
                But to walk away from love was more than we could do 
                          G   A         Bm 
                It was almost goodbye 
                G    A         Bm 
                Almost goodbye 
 

( Bm ) A G 
 
Bm                                         A 
Now there was sun through the blinds this morning 
G 
When I opened up my eyes  
Bm                  A                    G 
Outside I could hear a mockingbird 
Bm                                A                 G                
And I could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side 
Bm                         A                           G                   G  G/F# 
I thought of how the world could end with just one word 
Em 
But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it 
 
CHORUS 
 
SOLO: 
( Bm ) A G    Bm A G 
 
Em                                        A 
Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken 
E    B        A 
You know I tried my best to go 
      E B           A                                   A  A/G# 
And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so 
F#m                                  E 
It should have been easy to say that we were through 
         F#m                                           B 
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do 
         E  B            A 
It was almost goodbye 
E   B             A 
Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was 
E   B             A 
Almost goodbye, oh oh 
E   B             A 
Almost goodbye     (fade)
