Can’t say  I don’t love her
 Still  I can’t  pretend
 And my heart  is torn  just knowing that
 I’m losing my  best friend
If  it's easier said  and done
 Then someone tell  me why
 Though I try,
 I can’t find  the words to say  goodbye
 I could tell  her that  I’m sor-ry
 And hope  she’ll understand
 She will have  to do  with someone else
All  that we  have planned
 I’d rather  her hear  the truth
 Than hurt  her with  a lie
 So I tried,
 But I can’t find  the words to say  goodbye
 Now I know
 I have  to go
Theres  no other way
 But goodbye  is not  what I  can bring myself  to say...
 If I  told her "see  you la--ter"
Then  I might  be wrong
 cause this voice inside  is driving me
 To find where  I belong
 I know  I must leave  her now
 but every  time  I try
 Don’t know why,
 I but I can’t find  the words to say goodbye---
 Don’t know why,
 I can’t find  the words to say  goodbye

[A]+9-[Esus4]-[C#m]-[D]-[Bm]-[F#m]-[E7]

[A+9]Can’t [Esus4]say I don’t l[C#m]ove [D]her
S[Bm]till I c[Esus4]an’t pre[A]tend
And my [A]heart is [Esus4]torn just kno[C#m]wing [D]that
I’m los[Bm]ing [F#m]my best [E7]friend
[A]If it's [Esus4]easier [C#m]said and d[D]one
Then someo[A]ne [C#m]tell me [D]why
Though I t[Bm]ry,
I can’t [E]find the words to [E7]say goodb[A]ye[Esus4]      [C#m]          [D]

I could [A+9]tell her [Esus4]that I’m   [C#m]sor-[D]ry
And [Bm]hope she’ll [Esus4]unders[A]tand
She will [A]have to [Esus4]do with some[C#m]one [D]else
[Bm]All that [F#m]we have [E7]planned
[A]   I’d [Esus4]rather her [C#m]hear the [D]truth
Than [A]hurt her [C#m]with a [D]lie
So I [Bm]tried,
But I can’t [E]find the words to [E7]say good[A]bye

Now [C#m]I   [D]know
I [C#m]have to [F#m]go

But [C#m]goodb[D]ye is [C#m]not what [F#m]I  can [Bm]bring [F#m]myself to s[E7]ay.[E]..[E7]   [E]

If [A+9]I told her "[Esus4]see you  [C#m]la--[D]ter"
[Bm]Then I [Esus4]might be [A]wrong
cause this v[A]oice [Esus4]inside is [C#m]driving [D]me
To [Bm]find [F#m]where I be[Esus4]long
[A]  I [C#m]know I must [D]leave her now
but [A]every t[C#m]ime I t[D]ry
Don’t know [Bm]why,
I but I can’t [E7]find the words to say goodb[A]ye-[F#m]--
Don’t know [Bm]why,
I can’t [E]find the words to [E7]say good[A]bye

[Esus4] [C#m] [D] [Bm] [F#m] [E7] [A]
