              VERSE 1: 
        G                F               C                D 
You ask me to read this letter that you wrote the night before 
         G                 F                    C                D 
And you really should know better 'cause she's worth a whole lot 
more 
        G        C         G     C       G   C   G 
Brother you know you can't run away and hide 
                C    b/bass   Am Am7  D           D7 
Is it you don't want to      see her cry is that why 
          G      C        G  C  G  C  G 
You won't go and say goodbye 
VERSE 2: 
          G                F              C             D 
Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame 
       G                F            C            D 
Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame 
 
REPEAT Chorus 
 
BRIDGE: 
        A7                        D                 G 
Yes and why tell me why can't you see that it's not right 
       A7                               D       Dsus    D 
It's a lie, it's a lie, don't hide your sorrows in the night 
 
REPEAT Chorus 
 
INTERLUDE 
      G                F               C              D 
And I know the pain is double, but for her it's even worse 
          G                 F                    C              D 
You must face her with her trouble, though it's hurting like a curse 
 
REPEAT Chorus TWICE 
G       C        G       C        G      C        G  G 
Go and say good, go and say good, go and say goodbye.
