[F] I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, [Dm] no
I [F] never can [C] say goodbye, [F] no
Even [C] though the pain and height
Seem to [Bb] follow me wherever I go
[C] Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They [Bb] always seem to show
[C] And then you try to say you're leaving me
And [Bb] I always have to say no, no
[F] Tell me why
[C] [Dm] Is it [F] so?
That I
Never can say goodbye, no
No, no, [Dm] no, no
I [F] never can say goodbye
[C] Every time [Em] I think I've had enough
And [Bb] start heading for the door
[C] There's a very [Em]
strange vibration
[F] Piercing me [Bb] right through the core
It [C] says turn around, you fool
You know [Bb] you love her more and more
[F] Tell me why
[Em] Is [Dm] it so?
I don't wanna [C] let go
I can't say [Cm] goodbye
[Eb]
[D] Oh, [Db] I'll never say [Cm] goodbye
[A] No matter how hard I try
I don't [Em] wanna lose [F] you
I never can say goodbye, no
No, no, no, [Dm] no
I
[F] never can [Am] say [F] goodbye
I [C] keep thinking that our problems
Soon [Bb] are gonna all work out
[Em] But there's that same unhappy feeling
That makes [Bb] that anguish, push that doubt
[C] Guess what that same old dizzy hang-up
Can't [Bb] do with you all the time
[F] Tell me why
[Em] [Dm] Is it so?
I don't wanna [C] let you go
I never can say [Cm] goodbye
[Eb] [D] Oh,
[Db] I'll never say [Cm] goodbye
[C] [A] No matter how hard I try
I ain't gonna [C] let you go
[Em]
I can't say [Cm] goodbye
I [D] need [Db] you to stop
[Cm] I never gonna [C] say goodbye
[Cm] [C] No matter how hard I try
You're my one and only lover
I can't say [Cm] goodbye
[Eb] [D] [Db]
