Verse 1

F          C                       Am
He doesn't know that everything is changed
                 C                         Em
He still says he loves me but now he looks away
              F                               Am
And more than that he says less and less each day
C                   F    G7            C   F
He's telling me goodbye  a little at a time

Verse 2

                    C                         Am
I can see it in his eyes I can feel it in his touch
                 C                      Em
I hear it in his voice but he don't say much
       F                           Am
In the quiet moments after we make love
C                   F    G7            C
He's telling me goodbye  a little at a time

Verse 3

G7                       F
If he believes by slowly letting go
           C                 F
Somehow it doesn't show he's wrong
G7                            Dm
No way for him to hide what's going on
C     F  G7
I know   I know

Verse 4

             C                     Am
He might get away with lying to himself
               C                  Em
But I know him better than anyone else
         F                                Am
He won't admit it but his heart's already left
G7                  F    G7            C
He's telling me goodbye  a little at a time

Verse 5

G7                            Dm
No way for him to hide what's going on
C     F G7
I know  I know

Verse 6

         C                            Am
Why do I hesitate why don't I set him free
                    C                    Em
Just bring it to an end and just let him leave
      F                                     Am
Maybe deep down in my heart the truth could be
C                   F    G7       C   Am
I'm telling him goodbye  a little time

Verse 7

                         F    G7            C
Yeah I'm telling him goodbye  a little at a time
