     G                                C(add9)  
It's killin' me to write the word goodbye, 
     G                               C(add9) 
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries. 
G         
We both know the reason, 
            C(add9) 
There ain't nothing to explain. 
    G   
But I know that my leavin' 
     C                 D 
Will spare us both the pain. 
  
     Em           C            Dsus    D  
(Desiree) I can't hold you any longer. 
     Em                C               Dsus  D 
(Desiree) You love his money more than me. 
        G             Am7 
And the taxi's at the gate, 
        G/B                C 
I guess all that's left to say 
      G                C             Dsus   
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page 
   D               C(add9) 
'I love you Desiree'.

It'd be easier to leave if I were mad, 
         G                                 C(add9) 
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have. 
       G  
And to write this note to you, 
        C(add9) 
Was the hardest thing to do. 
           G 
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy 
            C                D 
Who can't afford a girl like you 
  
     Em           C            Dsus    D  
(Desiree) I can't hold you any longer.

I won't be around for your goodbye.

I won't be around for your goodbye.

I was just a fool who couldn't see. 
                               
I won't be around for your goodbye. 
         C(add9)                               G 
That you love his money, you love it more than me.
