Lyrics

It’s sad to think

we’re not gon na (Gm7)make it,

and it’s (Gm7)got ten to the point

where (C7)we just can’t (Fmaj7)fake it.

But for (Bb)some un god ly rea son,

we (Bb)just won’t let it die.

I guess (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the first to say good (F)bye.

I keep (Fmaj7)won d’ring

what I’ll do with (Gm7)out you.

And I (Gm7)guess you must be

(Gm7)won der ing that (Fmaj7)same thing, too.

So we (Bb)go on

to (Am)geth er,

liv ing a (Bb)lie,

be cause (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the first to say good (F)bye.

(Bb)Ev ’ry time I find the nerve to say

I’m (Fmaj7)leav in’,

old (Gm)mem o ries

get in the (Fmaj7)way.

Lord knows it’s on ly me

that I’m de (Am)ceiv ing;

when it (Dm)comes to say ing good (C#)bye,

that’s a (G7)word I just can’t (Gm)say.

There can (F)be no way

this can have a hap py (Gm)end ing.

So we (C7)just go on

hurt ing and pre (Fmaj7)tend ing,

and con (Bb)vinc ing our selves to (Am7)give it

just one more (Bb)try.

Be cause (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the one to say good (Dm)bye;

be cause (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the first to say good (F)bye.
