To play with the recording, Capo 1st fret
INTRO: Bm A G Bm A G
Bm A
There was rain on the street last night
G
We stood beneath the front door light
Bm A G
And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard
Bm A
You called me this, I called you that
G
Standing on the welcome mat
Bm A G G G/F#
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word
Em
But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it
D A G
CHORUS: You know I tried my best to go
D A G G G/F#
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
Em D
It should have been easy to say that we were through
Em A
But to walk away from love was more than we could do
G A Bm
It was almost goodbye
G A Bm
Almost goodbye
(Bm) A G
Bm A
Now there was sun through the blinds this morning
G
When I opened up my eyes
Bm A G
Outside I could hear a mockingbird
Bm A G
And I could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side
Bm A G
G G/F#
I thought of how the world could end with just one word
Em
But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it
CHORUS
SOLO: (Bm) A G Bm A G
Em A
Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken
E B A
You know I tried my best to go
E B A A A/G#
And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
F#m E
It should have been easy to say that we were through
F#m B
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do
E B A
It was almost goodbye
E B A
Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was
E B A
Almost goodbye, oh oh
E B A
Almost goodbye (fade)
