Say Goodbye by Katharine Mcphee
DIf I seem Gdistant, Baby I Dam... Words are like sGcissors in your Dhands
                               G                     A     Bm  C#/A  
And theres no script to follow, so I just close my eyes
That way it wont Emhurt so much, wGhen we Asay goodbDye
I feel just like an Gactress up on the stDage
I cant belGieve, what Im hearing myself Dsay
                           G                A                    Bm  C#/  A  
And the porch light is my spotlight. So I play along with this life
That way it wont hGurt so much, Emwhen we sAay goodbBmyeA  Bm  
Did you ever lGove me? Does it even maDtter?
Did you even nEmotice the whole world shDatter?
I just want to hGold you till you know Im soDrry
                  Em       Bm  C#/    A  
But I just keep it all inside. 
That way it wont huGrt so much, whEmen we saAy goodbDye
My heart feels like a cGircus... Its too much to take Din
Its hard to lose loGve, but you were my best frDiend
                    G         A       Bm  C#/         A  
So I walk this high wire... Alone tonight
That way it wont hEmurt so much, whGen we sAay goodBmbyeA  G  
That way it wont hEmurt so much, wGhen we Asay gooDdbye
That's about it. It should be pretty close the original. This was my first one, 
that I put out in the open. 
I waited four months for someone to do it for me, but guess I just stopped 
waiting. 
You have to play a bit with your  fingers to make it sound like it should, when 
playing the first five chords in the verses, but it will come to you since pretty basic stuff.
