Intro- | G | | Em | | Dsus | | Dsus | 2x
G Em
Well I guess if I'm honest, it has been a little while
Dsus
Since she gave me one of her care free smiles
G Em
Not the one that you see in the pictures, but the one she saved for me
Dsus
To sit here in this moment you're all that I hoped to be
G
Still tonight when she said she needed a little time
Dsus
Letting go for good never did cross my mind
:: Chorus ::
G Em
?Til the goodbye kiss that lingered a little too long
Dsus
?Til the tear in her eye made me say ?Baby tell me what?s wrong?
G Em
?Til she drove away and never looked me in the eye
Dsus
I'm not sure, but that sure felt like goodbye
G Em
No she didn't come out and say it, but I don't think she will be back
Dsus
She left out of here like a woman whose bags were packed
G Em
And I should have seen this coming, though I shouldn't be so surprised
Dsus
She?s a child of the highway in the wide open skies
G Dsus
No one man ever held her heart completely,
what was I thinking, thinking it might be me
:: Chorus ::
G Em
?Til the goodbye kiss that lingered a little too long
Dsus
?Til the tear in her eye made me say ?Baby tell me what?s wrong?
G Em
?Til she drove away and never looked me in the eye
Dsus
I'm not sure, but that sure felt like goodbye
Dsus
Sure felt like goodbye
G
Maybe I'm reading this wrong,
Dsus
She sure didn't leave me much to go on
:: Chorus ::
G Em
Just a goodbye kiss that lingered a little too long
Dsus
Just a tear in her eye when I said ?Baby tell me what?s wrong?
G Em
Then she drove away and never looked me in the eye
Dsus
I'm not sure, but that sure felt like goodbye
