• Song:

    Goodbye My Lover (acoustic)

  • Artist:

    James Blunt

I figured this out from watching James play this on MTV live, so this is his acoustic version. He doesn't strum though, it's all just randomly finger plucked. 
 
E5 
Did I disappoint you? 
C#5 
Or let you down? 
A5 
Should I be feeling guilty, 
                B5 
Or let the judges frown? 
E5                             C#5 
Cuz I saw the end, before we'd begun 
          G#5                                 A5               B5 
Yes I saw you were blind, and I knew I had won 
E5                                          C#5 
So I took what's mine, by eternal right 
A5                                                  B5           
Took your soul out into the night 
E5                              C#5 
It may be over, but it won't stop there 
        G#5                       A5      B5 
I am here for you, if you'll only care 
E5                                             
You touched my heart you touched my soul 
C#5 
Changed my life and all my goals 
A5 
Love is blind and that I knew when 
                       B5 
My heart was blinded by you 
E5 
I've kissed your lips and held your head 
C#5 
Shared your dreams and shared your bed 
G#5 
I know you well, I know your smell 
A5                  B5            
I've been addicted to you 
 
Chorus: 
E5                             C#5 
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend 
A5                                                    B5 
You have been the one, you have been the one for me 
E5                             C#5 
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend 
                A5                                    B5                        E5                A5 
You have been the one, you have been the one for me. 
 
(same) 

I am a dreamer, and when I wake 

You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take 

And as you move on, remember me, 

Remember us and all we used to be 

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile 

Watched you sleeping for awhile 

I'd be the father of your child, 

I'd spend a lifetime with you 

I know your fears and you know mine 

We've had our doubts but now we're fine and I love you, I swear that's true 

I cannot live without you 
 
Chorus 
E5   A5   E5   B5 
BRIDGE 
A5             B5                          C#5 
And I still hold your hand in mine 
    G#5     
In mine when I'm asleep 
A5             C#5                 G#5 
And I will bear my soul in time 
                 A5                       B5 
When I'm kneeling at your feet 
 
Chorus 
E5   C#5   A5   B5   E5
