Capo on 1st fret
               
 
 
Verse 1 
               C                                                Am 
I heard you laughing in a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to 
                                           F 
I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks 
            G 
It took me back 
             C                                              Am 
You looked happy with that little girl on your shoulders, happy 
                                            F 
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue 
                      G 
Time's been sweet to you 
 
 
              F                 C 
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt 
         Am                                        G 
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved 
              F                 C 
Sometimes life leads you down a different road 
         Am                                  G 
When you're holding on to someone that you gotta let go 
   Am                     G      F 
Someday you'll see the reason why 
   Am       G       F                          Am 
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there's good in goodbye 
 
 
Verse 2              
  C                                                  Am 
I don't regret it the time we had together I won't forget it 
                                F 
But we both ended up where we belong 
                          G 
I guess goodbye made us strong 
               C                                      Am 
And yeah I'm happy I found somebody too who makes me happy 
                                         F 
And I knew one day I'll see you on the street 
                 G 
And it'd be bittersweet 
 
 
              F                 C 
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt 
         Am                                        G 
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved 
              F                 C 
Sometimes life leads you down a different road 
         Am                                  G 
When you're holding on to someone that you gotta let go 
   Am                     G      F 
Someday you'll see the reason why 
   Am        G      F                          Am 
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there's good in goodbye 
 
Yeah, yeah 
 
 
Outro 
              F                 C 
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt 
         Am                                        G 
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved 
              F                 C 
Sometimes life leads you down a different road 
         Am                                  G 
When you're holding on to someone that you gotta let go 
   Am                     G      F 
Someday you'll see the reason why 
   Am                     G      F 
Yeah someday you'll see the reason why 
                   C 
There's good in goodbye, yeah 
                   C 
There's good in goodbye
