that was a tough goodbye
A B E
and what tore me down was watchin’ her try not to cry
A B E
she asked me to stay and for a minute i thought i might
A B E
yeah , that was a tough goodbye

that was a long night
full of lookin’ back and wonderin’ what it might ’a been like
must’ve drove her memory across at least ten state lines
yeah , that was a long , long night

chorus :
A
and i’m not quite ready yet to settle down or even let
E
someone get a hold of me ’cause i’m not done being free
A
i still have a few roads to travel down and lord knows
C#m B A E
i got way too close that time that was a tough goodbye

that was a hurtin’ kind
not the so long after awhile , see ya soon , some other time
where i just walk away and everybody’s fine
no , that was a hurtin’ kind

chorus

bridge :
A
i know i won’t find anyone better
A
i can’t keep runnin’ forever

chorus

that was a tough goodbye
that was a tough goodbye
and what tore me down was watchin’ her try not to cry
