ALMOST GOODBYE - Mark Chesnutt ------------------------------------------------------- To play with the recording, Capo 1st fret INTRO: Bm A G Bm A G Bm A There was rain on the street last night G We stood beneath the front door light Bm A G And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard Bm A You called me this, I called you that G Standing on the welcome mat Bm A G G/F# Everything we felt it all came down to just one word Em But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it D A G CHORUS: You know I tried my best to go D A G G G/F# I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so Em D It should have been easy to say that we were through Em A But to walk away from love was more than we could do G A Bm It was almost goodbye G A Bm Almost goodbye (AG) Bm A Now there was sun through the blinds this morning G When I opened up my eyes Bm A G Outside I could hear a mockingbird Bm A G And I could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side BAG G G/F# I thought of how the world could end with just one word Em But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it CHORUS SOLO: (Bm) A G Bm A G Em A Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken E B A You know I tried my best to go E B A A/G# And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so F#m E It should have been easy to say that we were through F#m B But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do E B A It was almost goodbye E B A Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was E B A Almost goodbye, oh oh E B A Almost goodbye (fade) -Roberto Barbieri (barbieri@unive.it)
