(Capo 2)

If you hear this on the radio

Then we've already said our last goodbye

I won't be there when you get home

By now there's someone else that hears you cry

I wonder if he holds you like I did

I hope that he can love you better

Cause we were everything that's right at

The wrong time

CHORUS:

I didn't want to lose you

Leave you with a broken heart

F Am

But wherever we are, we're miles apart

G C

I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye

Oh, I didn't want to let you go

F Am

But wherever we are, we're miles apart

G C

I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye

We were almost beautiful

A broken piece of art put on display

But we were never possible

Another perfect moment thrown away

I know somebody out there will love you

They'll be the forever we never were

Cause we were everything that's right at

The wrong time

CHORUS

C Em C Em

If you hear this on the radio

Then we've already said our last goodbye

Our last goodbye
