To play with the recording, Capo 1st fret
INTRO: Bm A G Bm A G
There was rain on the street
last night
We stood beneath the front door light
And everything we said w
e made sure the neig
hbors heard
You called me this, I call
ed you that
Standing on the welcome mat
Everything we felt
it all came down to
just one word
[G/F#]
But you couldn’t say it and I couldn’t say it
CHORUS: You know
I tr
ied my best
to go
I
know you cried
’cause I hurt y
ou so[G/F#]
It should have been easy to say that
we were through
But to wa
lk away from love was more than we
could do
It was alm
ost
goodbye
Almos
t goodbye
[(Bm)]
Now there was sun through the blinds this m
orning
When I opened up my eyes
Outside I could hear
a mockingbird
And I could feel your heartbeat as
you layed there b
y my side
I t[G/F#]hought of how the world could end with just one word
But you didn’t say it, and I didn’t say it
CHORUS
SOLO: (Bm) A G Bm A G
Sometimes the most important words are the
ones that you leave unspoken
You k
now I tri
ed my best to go
And I
kn
ow you cried
’cause I hurt you so
[A/G#]
It should have been easy to say that
we were through
But to wa
lk away from love that way was more than we co
uld do
It was al
mos
t goodbye
Almo
st goodbye, no
, I couldn’t say it was
Almo
st goodbye, oh
oh
