A Bad Goodbye

(intro) Am Em C D

G                      C
     I've been bound         to leave you.
Bm                            C
     we've known that for a while.
Em                          A
    I'm sure it's something I can't do if I can't
C                      D
    leave you with a smile.
              G           C
    I don't know how far      I'll have to go,
             Em                     A
    till I'm sure those eyes won't cry,
              Am               Em
    and in my mind I've left enough to know,
                  Am         D                 G
    that I can't leave you      with a bad goodbye.

     C          Em
Goodbye, easier said than done,
    Am                         D
goodbye, there's no good when you're the one,
          Bm               Em
whose goodbye you swore           would never come,
   Am              C              D
and in my goodbye you're finding none.

G                     C
    I'm still bound         to leave you,
Bm                       C
    I surely don't know how.
Em                          A
     My heart won't let me put you through,
             C                       D
    what my mind said should happen now.
G                       C
    I don't know where         we'll go from here,
           Em                A
     there may be no way to fly,
                       Am              Em
     and the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear,
                   Am               D       G
     that I can't leave you with a bad goodbye.

     C          Em
Goodbye, easier said than done,
    Am                         D
goodbye, there's no good when you're the one,
          Bm               Em
whose goodbye you swore           would never come,
   Am              C              D
and in my goodbye you're finding none.

G                    C
    How can we be         so far between,
             Em                A
    where we are and one more try,
            Am               Em
    and any way I look, I've only seen,
                 Am               D       G C    G
    that I can't leave you with a bad goodb…….ye.
