Almost Lover

Your [Am]fingertips across my skin

The palm trees [F/C]swaying in the wind

[Am]Images [F/C]

You sang me [Am]Spanish lullabies

The sweetest [F/C]sadness in your eyes

[Am]Clever trick

 

Well, I [G]never want to see you [C]unhappy

I [Dm]thought you'd want the same [G]for me

 

[C]Goodbye, my almost lover

[G]Goodbye, my hopeless dream

[Dm]I'm trying not to think about you

[F]Can't you just let me be?

[C]So long, my luckless romance

[G]My back is turned on you

[Dm]Should've known you'd bring me heartache

[F]Almost lovers always [C]do

 

[F/C]We walked [Am]along a crowded street

You took my [F/C]hand and danced with me

[Am]Images[F/C]

And when you [Am]left, you kissed my lips

You told me [F/C]you would never, never forget

[Am]These images

 

[F/C]No

 

Well, I'd [G]never want to see you [C]unhappy

I [Dm]thought you'd want the same [G]for me

 

[C]Goodbye, my almost lover

[G]Goodbye, my hopeless dream

[Dm]I'm trying not to think about you

[F]Can't you just let me be?

[C]So long, my luckless romance

[F]My back is turned on you

[Dm]Should've known you'd bring me heartache

[F]Almost lovers always [C]do

 

[Am]I cannot go to the [G]ocean

I cannot drive the streets at [Am]night

I cannot wake up in the [F]morning

Without you on my [Em]mind

So you're gone and I'm [G]haunted

And I bet you are just [F]fine

 

[Dm]Easy to walk right in and out

Of my [G]life?

 

[C]Goodbye, my almost lover

[G]Goodbye, my hopeless dream

[Dm]I'm trying not to think about you

[F]Can't you just let me be?

[C]So long, my luckless romance

[G]My back is turned on you

[Dm]Should have known you'd bring me heartache

[F]Almost lovers always [C]do
