I Hate Goodbyes
Recorded by Bobby Bare
Written by Jerry Foster and Bill Rice
D7 G
Softly close the door behind you
C G
How it hurts me to see you go
Gently break the tie that binds you
A7 D7
And this heart that loves you so
G
If you're sure you won't be staying
C G
Then just walk on out of my life
C Am
There's just two words left for saying
G D7 G
And the Lord knows how I hate goodbyes
C G
And nothing's born to live forever
D7
But oh how it hurts to see it die
G C Am
First it's always then it's never
G D7 G
And the Lord knows how I hate goodbyes
C G
And nothing's born to live forever
D7
But oh how it hurts to see it die
G C Am
First it's always then it's never
G D7 C G
And the Lord knows how I hate good-byes
