[Intro]
Am F
Am F
 
[Verse]
          Am
Your fingertips across my skin 
               F
The palm trees swaying in the wind 
   Am              F
Images 
            Am
You sang me Spanish lullabies
             F
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
       Am
Clever trick 
        G                       C
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
  F                                G
I thought you'd want the same for me 
 
[Chorus]
C
 Goodbye, my almost lover 
G
 Goodbye, my hopeless dream 
Am
 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 
Am
 Should've known you'd bring me heartache
F                    C
 Almost lovers always do 
 
[Verse]
F            Am
  We walked along a crowded street 
            F
You took my hand and danced with me 
   Am F
Images 
             Am
And when you left, you kissed my lips 
                      F
You told me you would never, never forget
         Am    F
These images, no
          G                       C
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy 
  F                               G
I thought you'd want the same for me 
 
[Chorus]
C
 Goodbye, my almost lover 
G
 Goodbye, my hopeless dream 
Am
 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 
Am
 Should've known you'd bring me heartache
F                    C
 Almost lovers always do 
 
[Instrumental]
G
 
[Verse]
Am                   G
 I cannot go to the ocean
                              C
I cannot drive the streets at night
                           F
I cannot wake up in the morning 
                  Am
Without you on my mind 
                                G
Well so you're gone and I'm haunted 
                       F
And I bet you are just fine 
F
Did I make it that 
Easy to walk right in and out
      G
Of my life? 
 
[Chorus]
C
 Goodbye, my almost lover 
G
 Goodbye, my hopeless dream 
Am
 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 
Am
 Should've known you'd bring me heartache
F                    C
 Almost lovers always do

I think these chords may be a little more accurate: Pre-Chorus ("I'd never want to see you unhappy"): G C Dm G Chorus: C G Dm F Bridge: Am G F Em Am G F ... ... Dm Easy to walk right in and out G Of my life Thanks for posting the tab, and hope this was helpful. AnastasiaS

Hey, I played along with the tune and am pretty sure its Dm everywhere the tabs has Am bridge and chorus. you can really tell the difference on the piano. just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth, it took me 3 times just to post this, 1st timer, thanks tlamor

hey there, where there is Am in the chorus, it has to be Dm , it sounds right! please correct it! thanks :o)
