C                  G/B 
I remember holdin' on to you 
Am                F               C 
All them long and lonely nights I put you through 
C                             G/B 
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry 
      F              G (G7)          C     
But I can't remember if we said goodbye 
 
 
Bridge: 
      F                                     C 
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico 
                G            G7 
One place I may never go 
G7           C       G (G7) 
In my life again 
 
      C                           G/B 
Was I just off somewhere just too high 
     F              G               C   
But I can't remember if we said goodbye 
 
 
I only miss you every now and then 
Like a soft breeze blowin up from the Caribbean 
Most Novembers I break down and cry 
But I can't remember if we said goodbye 
 
Repeat bridge 
 
Coda: 
      F              G               Am 
But I can't remember if we said goodbye 
F           
Goodbye 
C 
Goodbye
