Why We Said Goodbye (CHORDS) by Tim McGraw
[Verse 1]~
B E
I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach
C#m D#m
And that place we would stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats
B
The hours of the tide chart
E D#m
The way the sunlight dance upon your face
[Verse 2]~
B E
That antique roller coaster you just had to ride
B E
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes
C#m
The color and the detail
D#m B E C#m D#m
Just like it was yesterday
[Verse 3]~
B E
And I remember how you held me the night my father died
C#m
I did not have to tell you
D#m
I just broke down and cried
B E
You are sewn into the fabric,.. the pieces of my life
C#m D#m
And I just cannot remember why we said goodbye
[Verse 4]~
B E
Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit
B E
I know it was not perfect but nothing ever is
C#m
The sails out in the harbor
D#m B E
Are searching for the wind
[Verse 5]~
B E
I just had to call you,.. I had to hear your voice
B E
And tell you I still love you we still have a choice
B E
You are sewn into the fabric,.. the pieces of my life
C#m D#m
And I just cannot remember why we said goodbye
C
Everything I do
Em
Leads back to you
C#m D#m
I know I just cannot let us go
[Verse 6]~
B E
There must have been a reason,.. but I cannot remember now
C#m D#m
I know if I could hold you we could work it out
G E
You are sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life
C#m D#m
And girl let us give it one more try
B E C#m D#m
Because I just cannot remember why we said goodbye
