Lyrics

Saying Good-bye
Gar Meyer

Intro
D+9 G6 D+9 G6 D+9 Em7 G6

Verse 1
D DM7 G Gm7
Once upon a time in a lifetime far away
D G F#m G
We fell in love like two blind lovers do
D DM7 G Gm7
Then it all seemed real, the passion and the feel
D+9 Em7 G6 AsusD
Of tender moments spent together, but now those days are gone.

Chorus
D G F#m Bm
You won't have to cry no more, I won't have to lie
Em A
Tonight I'm telling you
D G F#m Bm
I've run out of hope for us, Why should we waste our time
Em A
Tonight I'll just be saying...
D+9 G6 D+9 G6 D+9 Em7 G6


Verse 2
D DM7 G Gm7
Nighttime dreams of love, daytime dreams of you
D G F#m G
Have got me spinning round and down, I'm dizzy and confused
D DM7 G Gm7
In my heart I know there's only one path to take
D+9 Em7 G6 AsusD
To find myself I must lose you, you're the price I'll pay.

Chorus
D G F#m Bm
You won't have to cry no more, I won't have to lie
Em A
Tonight I'm telling you
D G F#m Bm
I've run out of hope for us, Why should we waste our time
Em A
Tonight I'll just be saying...

Bridge
D, DM7, D, D7
G F#m Bm Em A D
There's been so many times I've tried to tell you why I couldn't stay
Em G Asus9 A7 D, DM7, D, D7
But my heart just wouldn't let me explain
G F#m Bm Em A D
You see I finally know why I've got to go, It would be a lie to stay
Em G Em7 Asus9 A7
Please believe me, girl, it hurts to leave this way.



Verse 3
D DM7 G Gm7
I hope someday I'll hear you're happy and secure
D+9 Em7 G6 AsusD A7
Then I'll know tonight was right and you will realize

You won't have to cry no more, I won't have to lie

I've run out of hope for us, Why should we waste our time
Em A7
Tonight I've just be saying...
Fm7 B7 pause
Tonight I've just be saying...
G A7
Tonight I've just been say
D+9 Em7 G6 D+9 D
ing Good-bye.
