Bb Gm Eb Eb/F


[Verse]

  Bb                  Gm
I watch you as you're sleeping
       Eb              F
As I'm standing at the door
Bb              Gm
I don't want to let you go
            Cm         F
But I can't hold on anymore
D            Gm
I just can't find the strength
   Eb
To say I'm leaving you
     Bb             Gm
It's over now, it's over now
            Cm            F
And there's nothing I can do


[Chorus]

                   Bb
I couldn't say goodbye
                   Eb
Couldn't stand the pain
                   Gm
Couldn't watch you cry
F                 Eb               F
Knowing that your heart would break
             Bb                     Eb
So I let you sleep till the morning light
         Bb              Gm              F
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Cm                Eb
Telling you that I
                   Bb  Gm Eb
I couldn't say goodbye


[Verse 2]

    Bb                Gm
I'm walking down this rainy street
Eb              F
Thinking you're awake by now
Bb             Gm
As you read my letter
        Cm                   F
And the tears fall from your eyes
D                   Gm
Just now I tried to make it work
        Eb
It just wasn't meant to be
  Bb            Gm
I needed you, I needed you
            Cm             F
But not the way you needed me


[Chorus 2]

                   Bb
I couldn't say goodbye
                   Eb
Couldn't stand the pain
                   Gm
Couldn't watch you cry
F                 Eb               F
Knowing that your heart would break
             Bb                     Eb
So I let you sleep till the morning light
         Bb              Gm              F
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Cm                Eb Eb/F
Telling you that I

I couldn't say goodbye
