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)
Asus2 A
I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach
Asus2 A
And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats
Dsus2
The hours of the tide chart
D Dsus2 Asus2
The way the sunlight danced upon your face
Asus2 A
That antique roller coaster you just had to ride
Asus2 A
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes
Dsus2
The color and the detail
D Dsus2 Asus2
Just like it was yesterday
Chorus:
D Dsus2
And I remember how you held me the night my father died
Asus2 A Asus2
I didn't have to tell you, I just broke down and cried
D Dsus2 A F#m
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
Bm F#m E Asus2
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye
Asus2 A
Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit
Asus2 A
I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is
Dsus2
The sails out in the harbor
D Dsus2 Asus2
Are searching for, the wind
Chorus 2:
D Dsus2
I just had to call you, I had to hear your voice
Asus2 F#m F#m7
And tell you I still love you we still have a choice
D Dsus2 A F#m
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
Bm F#m E Asus2
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye
Bb F Gm F
Everything I do, leads me back to you
C F D E
I know I just can't let us go
Chorus 3:
D Dsus2
There must have been a reason, but I can't remember now
Asus2 F#m F#m7
I know if I could hold you we could work it out
D Dsus2 A F#m
You're sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life
Bm F#m E
And girl let's give it one more try
Bm F#m E Asus2
Cause I just can't remember why we said goodbye
