Am G
1. There was rain on the street last night,
F
we
stood beneath the front door light,
Am G F
and
everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard.
Am - G
You called me this, I
called you that,
F
standing
on the welcome mat,
Am G F
everything
we felt, it all came down to just one word.
Dm
But you couldn't say it and I
couldn't say it.
C G F
You know I tried my best to go,
C G F G
I know you cried 'cause I hurt
you so.
Dm Am
It should have been easy to
say that we were through,
Dm G
but to walk away from love was
more than we could do.
F
G Am
F G Am
It was almost goodbye, almost goodbye.

2. Now there was sun through
the blinds this morning,
F
when
I opened up my eyes,
Am G F
outside
I could hear a mockingbird.
Am G - F
And I could feel your
heartbeat as you lay there by my
side,
Am G F
I thought of how the world
could end with just one word
Dm
but
you didn't say it, and I didn't say it
+ CHORUS + Am - G - F (2x)
Dm
G
+ Sometimes the most important words
are
the ones that you leave unspoken.

You know I tried my best to
go,

I know you cried 'cause I hurt
you so.

It should have been easy to
say that we were through,

but to walk away from love that
way was more than we could do.

It was almost goodbye.

+ Almost goodbye, no, I
couldn't say it was

almost
goodbye, oh oh.
Almost goodbye ....
