E             C#m      
I look out my window  
A               E 
To wish upon my star 
E                 C#m  
Dig out those old memories 
A                   E 
That?s hidden in my heart 
        A                  E  
But the stars ain?t coming out tonight 
A                 E 
Dark clouds win again 
A                     C#m                 E 
Cause there?s another lonely night movin? in 
 
E   D   A            E  
Why goodbye, why goodbye 
E  D A           B7   
Am I blue, my oh my 
    C#m              A   
You could-a said you loved me 
    C#m          A  
You could-a even lied 
   E   D   A            E 
So why goodbye, why goodbye 
 
 
On the day I met you 
There was love light in your eyes 
Yesterday you walked away 
And didn?t even cry 
And as I sit alone tonight 
And think of all we had 
Your leavin? me is leavin? me so sad 
 
Chorus 
 
 
You could-a said you loved me 
You could have even lied
