-6* 6  -6* -5   -4   6 
Nev-er can say good-bye, 
-6*-6*-5 6 -4
no no no no I
-6*  6 -6* -5   -4   6
Nev-er can say good-bye

-6* 7 -7   -7   -7  -7    -7   -7  
Ev-en tho’ the pain and heart-ache 
-7   -8  8   8  -8  -8  -7 7 -8 -7   
seem to fol-low me wher-ev-er I go
-6*  7   -7  -7   -7   -7  -7  -7  -7   -7
Tho’ I tried and tried to hide my feel-ings, 
-8   8   -8   -7  7   -7
they al-ways seem to show
-7   -8   9* -9  9*   -9     8* -7  -7  
Then you try to say you're leav-ing me 
-7 -8  8  -9   10  -9  9  10
and I al-ways have to say no
7    -7 -8   -8 8* -9
Tell me why, is it so?

-6* 6-5-6* 6  -6* -5   -4   6
But  I nev-er can say good-bye, 
-6*-6*-5 6 -4
no no no no I
-6*  6 -6* -5   -4   6
Nev-er can say good-bye

-6* 7   -7 -7   -7   -7  -7 -7  -7
Ev-‘ry time I think I've had e-nough, 
-7   -8    8    8  -7   7   -7
And start head-ing for the door
-6* 7    -7 -7   -7    -7 -7   -7
There's  ver-y strange vi-bra-tions
-7  -7 -8  8  -8   -7  7   -7
pierc-ing me right to the core
-7  -8    8* -9   9*  -9   9*  
It says "turn a-round you fool, 
-7   -7  -8    8  -9   10  -9 9* 10
you know you love her more and more"
7    -7 -8   -8 8* -9
Tell me why, is it so?
-7     -7 -7 -8  -9  10
Don't wan-na let you go

-7 -9 -9 -9  -9   -9  -9   9*
I nev-er can say good-bye boy, 
-7    -7  -7 -8  -9 -10*
Don't wan-na let you go


-7 -9 -9 -9  -9   -9  -9
I nev-er can say good-bye, 
-7 -8 -9  -7 -8 -9

-7 -9 -9 -9  -9   -9  -9   9*
I nev-er can say good-bye boy, 
-7  -8   -9
