I Couldnt Say Goodbye

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
