A               F
I've tried to mend
A               G
The love that ended
A                                       G F
Long ago although we still pretend
A                                       Dm
Our love is surely coming to an end
A                                                       E4 E
Don't waste the time you've got to love again

A               F
We tried to lie
A               G
But you and I
A                                       G F
Know better than to let each other lie
A                                       Dm
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
A                                                       E4 E
Counting up the time that's passed us by

F               G               C       Am              C       F
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
F               G       C       Am              C       F
And if it does I hope that you will understand
G       A               F
That I must leave in a while
A               G
And though I smile
A                                               G F
You know the smile is only there to hide
A                                       Dm
What I'm really feeling deep inside
A                                               E4 E
Just a face where I can hang my pride

Goodbye...
Goodbye...

We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free
