Your [Am]fingertips across my skin
The palm trees [F/C]swaying in the wind
[Am]Images [F/C]
You sang me [Am]Spanish lullabies
The sweetest [F/C]sadness in your eyes
[Am]Clever trick

Well, I [G]never want to see you [C]unhappy
I [Dm]thought you'd want the same [G]for me

Chorus

[C]Goodbye, my almost lover
[G]Goodbye, my hopeless dream
[Dm]I'm trying not to think about you
[F]Can't you just let me be?
[C]So long, my luckless romance
[G]My back is turned on you
[Dm]Should've known you'd bring me heartache
[F]Almost lovers always [C]do

[F/C]We walked [Am]along a crowded street
You took my [F/C]hand and danced with me
[Am]Images[F/C]
And when you [Am]left, you kissed my lips
You told me [F/C]you would never, never forget
[Am]These images

[F/C]No

Well, I'd [G]never want to see you [C]unhappy
I [Dm]thought you'd want the same [G]for me

Chorus
[C]Goodbye, my almost lover
[G]Goodbye, my hopeless dream
[Dm]I'm trying not to think about you
[F]Can't you just let me be?
[C]So long, my luckless romance
[F]My back is turned on you
[Dm]Should've known you'd bring me heartache
[F]Almost lovers always [C]do

[Am]I cannot go to the [G]ocean
I cannot drive the streets at [Am]night
I cannot wake up in the [F]morning
Without you on my [Em]mind
So you're gone and I'm [G]haunted
And I bet you are just [F]fine

Did I make it that
[Dm]Easy to walk right in and out
Of my [G]life?

Chorus

[C]Goodbye, my almost lover
[G]Goodbye, my hopeless dream
[Dm]I'm trying not to think about you
[F]Can't you just let me be?
[C]So long, my luckless romance
[G]My back is turned on you
[Dm]Should have known you'd bring me heartache
[F]Almost lovers always [C]do
