Why We Said Goodbye - Tim McGraw
Album: Set This Circus Down
Writers: Tom Douglas/William Kirsch
This is the closest I could get for an acoustic guitar version.
I'd pick most of the song and strum maybe the chorus. I think
the CD is tuned funky, it may not sound right on playing to the
CD, but it seems to work if you play it acoustically.
**Capo 2**
Intro: "A" progression (see below)
Asus2A
I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach
Asus2A
And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats
Dsus2
The hours of the tide chart
DDsus2Asus2
The way the sunlight danced upon your face
Asus2A
That antique roller coaster you just had to ride
Asus2A
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes
Dsus2
The color and the detail
DDsus2Asus2
Just like it was yesterday
Chorus:
DDsus2
And I remember how you held me the night my father died
Asus2AAsus2
I didn't have to tell you, I just broke down and cried
DDsus2AF#m
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
BmF#mEAsus2
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye
Asus2A
Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit
Asus2A
I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is
Dsus2
The sails out in the harbor
DDsus2Asus2
Are searching for, the wind
Chorus 2:
DDsus2
I just had to call you, I had to hear your voice
Asus2F#mF#m7
And tell you I still love you we still have a choice
DDsus2AF#m
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
BmF#mEAsus2
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye
BbFGmF
Everything I do, leads me back to you
CFDE
I know I just can't let us go
Chorus 3:
DDsus2
There must have been a reason, but I can't remember now
Asus2F#mF#m7
I know if I could hold you we could work it out
DDsus2AF#m
You're sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life
BmF#mE
And girl let's give it one more try
BmF#mEAsus2
Cause I just can't remember why we said goodbye
