G Em C C G Em C [Verse]
G                      Em
I watch you as you're sleeping

C                      D
As I'm standing at the door

G                       Em
I don't want to let you go

Am                        D
But I can't hold on anymore

B              Em
I just can't find the strength

Am                 C
To say I'm leaving you

G               Em
It's over now, it's over now

Am                        D
And there's nothing I can do
[Chorus]
                G
I couldn't say goodbye

                    C
Couldn't stand the pain

                   Em
Couldn't watch you cry

 Am                Em           D
Knowing that your heart would break

              G
So I let you sleep

                 C
Till the morning light

                       D            Am      D
When you wake up and you read the note I write

                 Em        D
Telling you that I

                    G         Em         C     D
I couldn't say goodbye
[Verse]
G                      Em
I'm walking down this rainy street

C                      D
Thinking you're awake by now

G                       Em
As you read my letter

Am                           D
And the tears fall from your eyes

B                    Em
Just know I tried to make it work

Am                      C
It just wasn't meant to be

G               Em
I needed you, I needed you

C           D
But not the way you needed me
[Chorus]
                  G
I couldn't say goodbye

                    C
Couldn't stand the pain

                   Em
Couldn't watch you cry

 Am                Em           D
Knowing that your heart would break

              G
So I let you sleep

                 C
Till the morning light

                       D            Am      D
When you wake up and you read the note I write

                 Em        D
Telling you that I

                    G         Em         C     D
I couldn't say goodbye
[Bridge]
G                     Em
I didn't mean to hurt you

Am                       C
I didn't want to make you cry

G                        C
It's over now, yes it's over now

G                     D
I just couldn't say goodbye
[Chorus]
                   G
I couldn't say goodbye

                    C
Couldn't stand the pain

                   Em
Couldn't watch you cry

 Am                Em           D
Knowing that your heart would break

              G
So I let you sleep

                 C
Till the morning light

                       D            Am      D
When you wake up and you read the note I write

                 Em        D
Telling you that I

                    G         Em         C     D
I couldn't say goodbye
