Intro: C
            F    C
It's almost sunrise
          F     C    G
Hours and hours gone by
            F      C
Candles are burned down
            F  C    G       Am
Turned into morning light
Am              G               C
    The time to go has come and gone
          F-Fm   C         G         C
Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight?

                   F    C
The whole world is sleeping
            F     C    G
And still I can't give in
            F   C
It's a love story
        F    C  G

I never want to end
Am              G               C
    The time to go has come and gone
          F-Fm   C         G        C
Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight?

A               Dm               G
   I'm using up all my strength
                C
I can't tear myself away
Am            Dm         F

It only gets harder as 
               G
night turns to day

            F   C
There isn't one place
                F   C  G
Honey, that I'd rather be
                   F    C 

Then Right here in your arms
               F     C  G
With your head lying on me

Am              G               C
    The time to go has come and gone
          F-Fm   C         G         C
Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight?
        C         G         C
Darling why can't I say goodnight?
