This is our last goodbYe

I hate to feel the love between us die

But it's over

Just hear this and then I'll go

You gave me more to live for

More than you'Il ever know.

This is our last embrace

Must I dream and always see your face?

Why can't we overcome this wall?

Baby, maybe it is just because I didnt know you at all.

Accompanied by main riff...

Kiss me, please, kiss meBut kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolationYou know, it makes me so angry'cause I know that in

I'll only make you cry this is our last goodbye.

Instrumental section

Bm/ N G / AlBm/ NEm/ NBrnl N G

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me,"

And did you rush to the phone to call?

Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,

"Maybe you didnÌ knou him at a l l . you didnì know him at a l l "

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime

Burning clues into this heart of mine

Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory

Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."
