Intro: Am  F (2x)

          Am 
Your fingertips across my skin 
               F 
The palm trees swaying in the wind 
   Am              F 
Images 
            Am 
You sang me Spanish lullabies 
             F 
The sweetest sadness in your eyes 
       Am 
Clever trick 

        G                       C 
Well, I never want to see you unhappy 
  Dm                              G 
I thought you'd want the same for me 


 C 
 Goodbye, my almost lover 
G 
 Goodbye, my hopeless dream 
Dm 
 I'm trying not to think about you 
F 
 Can't you just let me be? 
C 
 So long, my luckless romance 
G 
 My back is turned on you 
Dm 
 Should've known you'd bring me heartache 
F                    C 
Almost lovers always do 

Am 
  We walked along a crowded street 
            F 
You took my hand and danced with me 
   Am     F 
Images 
             Am 
And when you left, you kissed my lips 
                      F 
You told me you would never, never forget 
         Am    F 
These images, no 

          G                       C 
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy 
  Dm                              G 
I thought you'd want the same for me 
 

Am                   G 
 I cannot go to the ocean 
                              F 
I cannot drive the streets at night 
                           Em 
I cannot wake up in the morning 
                  Am 
Without you on my mind 
                                G 
Well so you're gone and I'm haunted 
                       F 
And I bet you are just fine 

F 
Did I make it that 
Dm 
Easy to walk right in and out 
      G 
Of my life?
