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.
