I can’t say goodbye to you    (video)

 

    G - C - G - C

 

             G                                         C

1. You say it would be better if we stopped seeing each other,

         D                                     - G

    if you had only met me first         when you were free.

              G                                                           C

'Cause now you've got commitments, I should not expect things from you,

           Bm                     Em                C                       D    - D7

    that you can't give to me, oh, but baby, can't you see !

 

                           G             - Em         C                 D

I can't say goodbye to you          no matter how I tried,

                        G             - Em        C                         D

you're such a part of me          without you, I would die.

                      G              - Em                      C

Deep in the heart of me          I know that you and I

            Em              Am         D                          G   

were meant to be forever, I can't tell you goodbye.         +  C

 

      G                                                      C

2. Neither of us planned that we would fall in love this way,

           D                                                   G

    but since we did why should we be apart ?

      G                                                                C

    Sometimes, some things happen that can never be explained,

             Bm                 Em                      C                      D    - D7

    now, it's too late for me, I've already given you my heart.

 

+  CHORUS

 

       Em                            Bm                        C            D           G

+  Who knows why we choose when we choose the ones we love ?

      Em                         Bm                       C                         D

    Who knows why we do the things we do when we're in love ?

         Em                        B                             C                      Bm

    I know that you're a decent man and you try to do what's best,

            C                 Bm            C                           D

    but how can I forget all the feelings we have shared !
