Chords

The inversion chords on this song should be played with only a few notes, and are designed to be electric guitar chords, but they will sound fine on your flat top. If the fingering is too challenging, simplify by not playing one or more strings. Have fun!

That was a tough goodbye

         Bb               C                F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F
And what tore me down was watchin’ her try not to cry

    Bb                     C            F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F
She asked me to stay and for a minute I thought I might

Bb    C                  F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F

That was a long night

        Bb               C                 F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F

        Bb               C               F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F, F/B F
Must’ve drove her memory across at least ten state lines

Bb    C                    F  
Yeah, that was a long, long night
(chorus)
        Bb        Bb/E
And I’m not quite ready yet

   Bb/D           Bb/E
To settle down or even let

F             F/E
Someone get a hold of me

     F/D                 F/E
‘Cause I’m not done being free

  Bb           Bb/E         
I still have a few roads

   Bb/D            Bb/E           
To travel down and Lord knows

Dm    C                  Bb
I got way too close that time

                 F
That was a tough goodbye

That was a hurtin’ kind

        Bb              C                        F          
Not the so long after awhile, see ya soon, some other time

      Bb            C           F
Where I just walk away and everybody’s fine

Bb  C                       F
No, that was a hurtin’ kind
(chorus)
        Bb        Bb/E

To travel down and Lord knows

Dm    C                  Bb
I got way too close that time

                     F  F/E  F/D
That was a tough goodbye

  C 
I know I won’t find anyone better

Bb      Bb/E         Bb/D        Bb/E 
I....   I can’t keep runnin’ forever
(chorus-out)
                   Bb           Bb/E
And I’m not quite     ready yet

               Bb/D             Bb/E
To settle down      or even let

To travel down      and Lord knows

Dm    C                  Bb
I got way too close that time
