“Kissing her goodbye”

Words and music by Donny Douglas

Intro G A7 C F G x 2
Verse
G                         A7
Kissing her goodbye now, the evenings gone
C            F                G
You tried to save it went her love was gone
G                A7
Lying all alone, the sheets so cold
C             F                  G
You’re waking up to how you were bought and sold

Pre-chorus
G       F                      C                      G
And it, seemed so right to you, seemed so right to you…….
F                    C                       G
You would never see, couldn’t ever see the truth
1st Chorus
          D                            Am                 G
While you dreamed of the future she was tormented by the past,
D                                   Am                 G
She never really left her lover and never love would last
Am                                          G                 D
So while you sat there asking her “did she feel the same as you?”
Am                               C                    G
All you did was make her mind up, to what she had to do

Second Verse 
Trying to make a contact, through some old friend,
It seems the only way to make amends
Lying all alone, tears in your eyes
You remember telling her there would be no ties
Pre-chorus
G       F                     C                      G
But it, was so right for you, seemed so right for you…….
F                    C                    G
She could never see, e-ven-tu-ally she’d love

2nd Chorus
     D                           Am               G
You saw a bright horizon but the clouds were overhead,
D                     Am               G
Hoped she'd feel the same way but her love’s already dead
Am                  G           D
So now you’re lying all alone, tears in your eyes
Am                        G                        D
Staring at the telephone, constructing worthless lies
 
1st Chorus repeats to end
 D                                         Am              G
While you dreamed of the future she was tormented by the past,
D                                    Am                G
She never really left her lover and never love would last
Am                                         G                  D
So while you sat there asking her “did she feel the same as you?”
Am                                C                  G
All you did was make her mind up, to what she had to do
