G                                         C 
The day I knew that my love couldnâ??t hold you 

  G                                    D7 
I took your hand and walked you to the door 

  G                                           C 
I looked into your eyes and kissed it all goodbye 

        G             D7           G 
Knowing nothing could ever hurt me more 


                                     C 
When the best thing you got going is leaving 

   G                                   D7 
It feels like nothing worse could come along 

    G                        C 
But you never really see how bad goodbye can be 

         G              D7           G 
Till the best thing you got going is gone 


                            C 
The worst day we ever had together 

    G                            D7 
Was better than the best I spent alone 

  G                                    C 
I never knew the cost of losing till I lost 

         G         D7               G 
Till the one thing I had right went wrong 


                                     C 
When the best thing you got going is leaving 

   G                                   D7 
It feels like nothing worse could come along 

    G                        C 
But you never really see how bad goodbye can be 

         G              D7           G 
Till the best thing you got going is gone 


                            C 
No you never really see how bad goodbye can be 

         G              D7           G 
Till the best thing you got going is gone
