[intro: ]
E G#m Esus2 E/F# F#
B E/B
I've been bound to leave you
D#m E
We've known that for a while
G#m G#m/C#
I'm sure it's something I can't do
E/C# F#
If I can't leave you with a smile
B E/B
I don't know how far I'll have to go
G#m C#m7
Till I'm sure those eyes won't cry
E/C# G#m
And in my mind I've left enough to know
C#m7
That I can't leave you
F# B
With a bad goodbye
chorus:
E/B G#m
Goodbye, easier said than done
C#m F#
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
D#m7 G#m
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
C#m E/C# F#
And in my goodbye you're finding none
I'm still bound to leave you
I surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind said should happen now
I don't know where we'll go from here
There may be no way to fly
And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear
That I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye
repeat chorus
How can we be so far between
Where we are and one more try
And any way I look, I've only seen
That I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye
This particular song is more likely to be played on piano, but since I found
the chords anyway, I post them here.
This should do it
