In the (Em) weeks that follow break-up 
(A) Last thing you wanna do 
(D) Is be out buyin' groceries 
(A) And see you-know-who 
(Em) Left a half-filled shopping cart 
(A) Sittin' on aisle three 
(D) Made a b-line for my car 
Pr(A)ayin' that she didn't see me 
 
  And it ended (D) well 
  Said we'd still be (A) friends 
  (Bm) Somebody (A) tell me (G) why 
  It's so (D) hard, to say hel(A)lo 
  To the one that said good(G)bye   
 
(Em) Months pass and you move on 
(A) Hardly think about it 
(D) I don't remember where I was 
(A) Just remember it was crowded 
(Em) Ducked behind a friend of mine 
The (A) minute she walked in 
(D) It'd be one thing 
If we (A) swore we'd never talk again 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
(Bm) You spend years with a person 
(Bm/C#) You know all their secrets 
(D) Said I (G) love you a million (D) times 
(Bm) I used to light up 
(Bm/C#) The moment I'd see her 
(D) Now I look (G) for a place to (A) hide 
 
SOLO 
 
(Bm) Now I've found the woman 
(Bm/C#) That I'm meant to be with 
(D) The moment I (G) saw her, I just (D) knew 
(Bm) So, isn't it crazy 
(Bm/C#) I still get flustered 
(D) Whenever I (G) run into...(A) you-know-who 
 
It's so (D) hard 
To say hel(A)lo 
(Bm) Could somebody (A) tell me (G) why 
It's so (D) hard 
To say hel(A)lo 
To the one that said good(G)bye
