A bad goodbye  (midi)
 
 Am – Em – C - D
 
 G - C
1. I've been bound to leave you. 
Bm C
 we've known that for a while.
Em  A
 I'm sure it's something I can't do if I can't 
C D
 leave you with a smile.
 G - C
 I don't know how far I'll have to go,
 Em  A
 till I'm sure those eyes won't cry,
 Am Em
 and in my mind I've left enough to know,
 Am - D G
 that I can't leave you with a bad goodbye.
 
 C Em
Goodbye, easier said than done,
 Am D
goodbye, there's no good when you're the one,
 Bm - Em
whose goodbye you swore would never come,
 Am C D
and in my goodbye you're finding none.
 
 G - C
2. I'm still bound to leave you, 
Bm C
 I surely don't know how.
Em  A 
 My heart won't let me put you through,
 C D
 what my mind said should happen now.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
G - C
 I don't know where we'll go from here,
 Em A
 there may be no way to fly,
 Am Em
 and the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear,
 Am D  G
 that I can't leave you with a bad goodbye.
 
+ CHORUS
 
 G - C
3. How can we be so far between,
 Em A
 where we are and one more try,
 Am  Em  
 and any way I look, I've only seen,
 Am D G – C - G
 that I can't leave you with a bad goodb…….ye.
