G Em C C G Em C
[Verse]
G Em
I watch you as you're sleeping
C D
As I'm standing at the door
G Em
I don't want to let you go
Am D
But I can't hold on anymore
B Em
I just can't find the strength
Am C
To say I'm leaving you
G Em
It's over now, it's over now
Am D
And there's nothing I can do
[Chorus]
G
I couldn't say goodbye
C
Couldn't stand the pain
Em
Couldn't watch you cry
Am Em D
Knowing that your heart would break
G
So I let you sleep
C
Till the morning light
D Am D
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Em D
Telling you that I
G Em C D
I couldn't say goodbye
[Verse]
G Em
I'm walking down this rainy street
C D
Thinking you're awake by now
G Em
As you read my letter
Am D
And the tears fall from your eyes
B Em
Just know I tried to make it work
Am C
It just wasn't meant to be
G Em
I needed you, I needed you
C D
But not the way you needed me
[Chorus]
G
I couldn't say goodbye
C
Couldn't stand the pain
Em
Couldn't watch you cry
Am Em D
Knowing that your heart would break
G
So I let you sleep
C
Till the morning light
D Am D
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Em D
Telling you that I
G Em C D
I couldn't say goodbye
[Bridge]
G Em
I didn't mean to hurt you
Am C
I didn't want to make you cry
G C
It's over now, yes it's over now
G D
I just couldn't say goodbye
[Chorus]
G
I couldn't say goodbye
C
Couldn't stand the pain
Em
Couldn't watch you cry
Am Em D
Knowing that your heart would break
G
So I let you sleep
C
Till the morning light
D Am D
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Em D
Telling you that I
G Em C D
I couldn't say goodbye
