Don't Say Goodbye:

 

       D
Well I heard it from confidential sources
     G
That you've been thinking 'bout losing my name
                  G                    D
and you've been dialin' some unlisted number
        A
at some Memphis, TN exchange
          D
Well your plannin' on headin' down the highway
         G
and this time you're going for good
           G                           A
well honey don't think twice 'bout the pain you leave behind
     A                      D
just do me one favor if you would


Chorus:
              G                  D
Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
           A                             D
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
              G                      D
all your sympathy, will only make me cry
       A                                       D
so get out, go on, get gone, and don't say goodbye


D (HOLD D)


Now you were hoping you could break it to me gently
         G
you were thinkin' we could part as friends
       G                   D
If I'd only try and remain civil
    A
I'd see it your way in the end
            D
Well pardon me while I beg to differ
               G
'cause I'm the one who's gotta live with the pain
                G                     D
and when you're out on the town, I'll still be broke down
          A                       D
don't you bother with tryin' to explain


(chorus)


Bridge:
Bm
I don't need to have all the reasons numbered
A                                             G
You can save those condolences for some other guy
                A
Baby some other time

(chorus)
