(Dsus)This is our last good bye.

(D)I hate to (Bm)feel the love be (A)tween us (Em7)die,

(D)but it’s o ver.

Just hear (D)this and then I’ll (Dmaj7)go.

You (A)gave me more to live for, (G)more than you’ll ev er know.

(D6)Well, (Dsus)this is our last em brace.

Must I dream and al ways (A)see your (G)face?

Why (Em7)can’t we o ver come (A)this (D)wall?

Ba by, (A)may be it’s just be (C)cause I did n’t (G)know you at all.

Kiss me, (C)please (G)kiss me.

(D)Kiss me (A)out of de sire, (C)ba by, no (G)con so la tion.

(D)Oh, you know it (A)makes me so an (C)gry, ’cause I (G)know that in time,

(F#m)I’ll on ly make you cry.

This is our last good bye.

(G)Oh,

did you say, (Bm)“No, this can’t hap (G)pen to me.”

Did you rush (Bm)to the phone to call?

Was there a (D)voice un kind

in the (D)back of your mind

say in’, (Em7)“May

be

you did n’t (Em7)know him at all.

You did n’t (G)know him at all, oh, oh, you did n’t know.”

(D)Well, the bells out in the church tow er chime,

burn in’ (C)clues in to this heart of mine.

Think in’ (C)so hard

on her (D)soft eyes

and the (C)mem o ries

of fer signs

that it’s o ver,

that it’s o

ver.
