I Feel the Same - Bonnie Raitt

[ A ] Say G?od[ D ]bye,  well I [ A ]know it's [ D ]true
[ A ] I know you're [ D ]leavin' me,  well I'm [ A ] leavin' [ D ]too
[ C ][ D ] You won't forget me, or the sound of my name   [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]
[ C ][ D ] Please believe, [ C ] I feel the same [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]

[ A ] It seems so [ D ]empty now, [ A ] you closed the [ D ]door
[ A ] Ain't it hard to be[ D ]lieve that you ever [ A ] lived this way be[ D ]fore
[ C ][ D ] All that nothing causes all that pain [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]
[ C ][ D ] Please believe, [ C ] I feel the same [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]

Well you're a [ A ]broken [ D ]soul,  and I know a [ A ]heart that's [ D ]breakin'
[ A ] You can't make it [ D ]whole, until you [ A ]know what has been [ D ]taken
[ C ][ D ] All those pieces,  I'll let you find them on your own [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]
[ C ][ D ]      [ C ]       [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]

[ A ] Say G?od[ D ]bye,  well I [ A ]know it's [ D ]true
[ A ] I know you're [ D ]leavin' me,  well I'm [ A ] leavin' [ D ]too
[ C ][ D ] You won't forget me, or the sound of my name   [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]
[ C ][ D ] Please believe, [ C ] I feel the same [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]
[ C ][ D ] Please believe, [ C ] I feel the same [ A ][ D ][ A ][ D ]



Notes:  There are only three chords in this song. The performance of it comes down to 
your rhythm (strumming) and sense of dynamics to give it the flavor it deserves. It needs 
your best slow blues shuffle, and of course some pain in your voice.

You can play it with open chords and palm muting, but I find it sounds best playing 
fifth-position barre chords (muting is easier), and sliding up to them quite often.
