The Way I Say Goodbye

Emily Weisband


Tom: Dm

F                         Am
I won't make this about me
       Dm              Am
I want you to be happy
        F                Am                 Am
I won't beg you to stay, get in your way
 Dm                        C
And I'll probably wait to cry when you leave
F                            Am
I won't say that I hate you
              Dm                       Am
In fact, that couldn't be more untrue
             F                   Am
Won't pull a figurative knife and put up a fight
  Dm                                   C
'Cause right now, I can tell that you don't want me to


[Pre-Chorus]
           Bb                       C
And I've tried a million times to show you
       A                      Dm
That all I ever wanted is to know you
 C   Bb
To really know you


[Chorus]
        Gm               C
If you couldn't feel my love
        F               Dm
In the way I said "good morning"
        Gm               C
If you couldn't feel my love
       F                 Dm
In the way I called you mine
        Gm                C
Then I hope you feel my love
        Bbm      F
In the way I say goodbye


[Verse 2]
F                                   Am
I'll try my best to leave you alone
                 Dm                   Am
But you were my future tеn minutes ago
           F                  Am
So I can't say that I'm not shattered
             Am
But doеs it really matter?
            Dm                    C
It's messed up that caring means letting you go


[Pre-Chorus]
          Bb                      C
And I've tried a million times to show you
     A                           Dm
That all I've ever wanted is to know you
 C       Bb
But do I know you?


[Chorus]
       Gm               C
If you couldn't feel my love
        F           Dm
In the way I said "forever"
        Gm               C
If you couldn't feel my love
       F                 Dm
When I gave you my whole life
        Gm               C
Then I hope you feel my love
        Bbm       F      Dm
In the way I say goodbye
  Gm    C
Goodbye


[Outro]
  Bb                  F
I loved you, really loved you
  Gm                            F
Whatever you're looking for, I hope you find
        Gm             C
Have a safe drive home
       C              F
And a beautiful life
