INTRO: D A D 
 
#1. 
D                      E               Em7 
It's sad to think that we're not gonna make it. 
A                                    D 
And it's gotten to the point that we just can't  
A 
fake it. 
        D                                 G 
But for some ungodly reason we just won't let  
 
it die. 
E       D                 A 
I guess neither one of us wants to be the first  
       D 
to say goodbye.

D                Em7                       A 
I keep wondering what I'll do without you, and I  
                            D                A   Em7 
guess you must be wondering that same thing, too. 
    D                      C        G 
So, we go on together just living a lie. 
Em7     D                 A 
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to  
    D 
say goodbye. 
 
BRIDGE: 
G                                           D 
Every time I find the nerve to say that I'm leaving, 
    A                          D   D7 
old memories seem to get in my way. 
Em7 G                       D 
Oh, Lord knows it's only me that I'm deceiving. 
      E 
Cause when it comes to saying goodbye, that's a simple  
       A 
word I never could say. 
 
#3. 
D         A    D            Em7                  A 
There can be a way this can have a happy ending, but  
               D              A       G 
we can't go on hurting and pretending. 
    D 
So, let's convince ourselves to give it, give it one more  
G 
try. 
E       D                 A 
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say  
    G   D 
goodbye.
