Em7                          D                   Cadd9 
I could tell by the way you kissed my lips that day 
Em7                                  D                 Cadd9 
There was something missing, something not the same 
D                                                                  Cadd9 
You were there, but you weren't, didn’t care, didn’t hurt at all 
D                                                             Cadd9 
Said it was what it was, then the feeling of us was gone 

               Em7     Cadd9  
I watched you fade away 
       G                             D 
But I turned my head and closed my eyes 
        Em7          Cadd9  
And prayed you’d stay 
      G                   D 
And I told myself that it’d be fine 
Em7                Cadd9                G   D 
I wish I could have just said somethin’, oh 
           Em7     D    Cadd9 
When you said you needed time 
       Em7 D  Cadd9 
I heard goodbye 
Em7 D  Cadd9 
Goodbye 


         Em7              D                 Cadd9 
It was way too easy to say those words you said 
          Em7                           D                  Cadd9 
And the look on your face, I could tell there was nothin’ left 
            D                                      Cadd9 
Almost wished we were fightin’, screamin’, and cryin’, but 
           D                                         Cadd9 
Not a drop of a tear, didn’t know how to feel, I was numb 

             Em7     Cadd9  
I watched you fade away 
       G                             D 
But I turned my head and closed my eyes 
        Em7          Cadd9  
And prayed you’d stay 
      G                   D 
And I told myself that it’d be fine 
Em7                Cadd9                G   D 
I wish I could have just said somethin’, oh 
           Em7     D    Cadd9 
When you said you needed time 
       Em7 D  Cadd9 
I heard goodbye 
Em7 D  Cadd9 
Goodbye 

       D                                  Cadd9 
I could try to hold on if I thought I could change your mind 
          D                           Cadd9 
But I don’t think I can when I feel like I feel tonight 

             Em7     Cadd9  
I watched you fade away 
       G                             D 
But I turned my head and closed my eyes 
        Em7          Cadd9  
And prayed you’d stay 
      G                   D 
And I told myself that it’d be fine 
Em7                Cadd9                G   D 
I wish I could have just said somethin’, oh 
           Em7     D    Cadd9 
When you said you needed time 
           Em7     D    Cadd9 
When you said you needed time 
       Em7 D  Cadd9 
I heard goodbye 
Em7 D  Cadd9 
Goodbye
