Not Saying Goodbye
View chords used in this chart
A
[Verse 1]
A E
Should've known better than to only say, "hey, you dropped this"
A E
Jumbled all my words like an idiot, couldn't help it
A
I buy you dinner in my head if I could
E A
And you buy me nothing 'cause you're probably used to it
E
I fucked it and there's nothing I can do about it
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E
It's fine if I was just a passing thought
F#m A
I guess the fifteen seconds felt like so much more
[Chorus]
A
You
E F#m A
Had tied up your hair with sunlight in your eyes
You
E F#m A
Only here for the weekend, maybe I've got no time
E
To call you up on a Sunday
F#m
To fall in love on a Monday
E F#m A
And the hardest part was not saying goodbye
[Verse 2]
A E
Maybe I'll just keep 'em comin' back and you'll be tryin' to find me
A E
Say a little more than before now I fuck it up
It's enough, enough to be
A
Lookin' at you next to me and not in my head
E A
Tell me all about yourself, I could get used to it
E
It's stupid and I think that I should probably forget it
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E
It's fine if I was just a passing thought
[Chorus]
A
You
E F#m A
Had tied up your hair with sunlight in your eyes
You
E F#m A
Only here for the weekend, maybe I've got no time
E
To call you up on a Sunday
F#m
To fall in love on a Monday
E F#m A
And the hardest part was not saying goodbye
