Intro  D  A  Bm  G  (x2) 

verse 1 

D 
How am I supposed to feel? 
   A 
You strike at my Achilles heel 
    Bm                                    G 
With everything that’s wrong I can’t make right 
     D 
If I wait another hundred years 
    A 
The whispers set against the tears 
Bm                              G 
I’m never gonna be that shining knight. 

Pre-Chorus 

          Bm          E7 
I find it hard to be down in this hole 
        A                       G 
Now I find myself walking down a hard road 
 

D                 G 
If I can’t say it 
D                 G 
If I can’t say goodbye 
 D                G 
If I can’t say it 
  D              G          G * 
If I can’t say goodbye I know you never will 

verse 2 

         D 
Now I’m waiting for that setting sun 
    A 
To burn me down the day I’m done 
  Bm                               G 
And spread my ashes out along the beach. 
       D 
But I find these days are pretty long 
      A 
This war with you goes on and on 
  Bm                                  G 
And I love you as I’m lying through my teeth 

Pre-Chorus 

           Bm         E7 
I find it hard to be up on this wall 
        A                          G 
Now I find myself trying to make a hard call 


D                 G 
If I can’t say it 
D                 G 
If I can’t say goodbye 
 D                G 
If I can’t say it 
  D              G          G 
If I can’t say goodbye I know you never will 

Bridge 

                E7 
And twenty years of hell 
               A                           G 
will rain down upon us like frogs upon the pharaohs. 
              D            A 
I have to say goodbye... 
              Em           G * 
I have to say goodbye...

 D                G 
If I can’t say it

If I can’t say goodbye I know you never will
