E
That was a tough goodbye
         A                B                E  
And what tore me down was watchin' her try not to cry
    A                    B              E  
She asked me to stay and for a minute I thought I might
A     B                    E
Yeah, that was a tough goodbye


That was a long night
Full of lookin' back and wonderin' what it might 'a been like
Must've drove her memory across at least ten state lines
Yeah, that was a long, long night


Chorus:
        A
And I'm not quite ready yet to settle down or even let
E
Someone get a hold of me 'Cause I'm not done being free
  A
I still have a few roads to travel down and Lord knows
C#m   B                  A                         E     
I got way too close that time that was a tough goodbye


That was a hurtin' kind
Not the so long after awhile, see ya soon, some other time
Where I just walk away and everybody's fine
No, that was a hurtin' kind

Chorus

Bridge:
A
I know I won't find anyone better
A
I can't keep runnin' forever


Chorus

That was a tough goodbye
That was a tough goodbye
And what tore me down was watchin' her try not to cry
