Almost Lover

[Intro]
Am F
Am F           Am
    Your fingertips across my skin

[Verse 1]
               F
The palm trees swaying in the wind Images
Am F            Am
    You sang me Spanish lullabies
             F
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
          Am
Clever trick
F  G                     C
 I never wanna see you unhappy
  Dm                              G
I thought you want the same 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                    C
 Almost lovers always do

[Verse 2]
            Am
We walked a long 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                          Am
You told me you'd never ever forget these images
  F
No
    G                     C
I'd never wanna see you unhappy
  Dm                              G
I thought you'd want the same 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                        Dm
 My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartbreak
F                    C  C G/B
 Almost lovers always do
Am                    G
  I cannot go to the ocean

[Bridge]
                            F
I cannot try the streets at night
                           Em
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
Am                           G
  So you're gone and I'm haunted
                       F
And I bet you are just fine
                     Dm
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out
      G
of my life

[Chorus-Outro]
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                     C
 Almost lovers always do
