the good in good bye

Cool on the Beach

Key: D#

Rhythm: 8/5, 6/5, 5/5

Piano solo intro

Piano-guitar contrapello accompaniment

The cool ocean breezes

So cool it freezes

The feelings lodged in my heart

Heard you say goodbye

For the millionth time

You said you’d be the first

To say good bye

But I’d be the first to leave

What does it matter now

Your foot’s out the door

And leaving on your mind

I have a thousand excuses

For the hits and misses

In this roller coaster of a ride

Say you’ll be mine again

This time I’ll do things right

But if I can’t stop you leavin’

Honey, give me this much

Not my key, but a kiss to remember

The good times by

Sand between my toes

Reminds me of the time past

Between the then and the now

The moments spent in love and angst

How did anger become part

Of this love equation

I wonder

Where did we leave off the affection

And become soldiers at odds

I watch the sun set

Your suitcase in the boot of the car

No more tears fall this time

But God help me

Pain is tearing at this heart of mine

I have a thousand excuses

For the hits and misses

In this roller coaster of a ride

Say you’ll be mine again

This time I’ll do things right

But if I can’t stop you leavin’

Honey, give me this much

Not my key, but a kiss to remember

The good times by

The sun sets

I count each of the steps

That take you away from me

Heard my phone ring

Could it be, it’s you

Hello love, you say

I miss you so

I can’t do this

Can I take back

My good bye kiss?

I have a thousand excuses

For the hits and misses

In this roller coaster of a ride

Say you’ll be mine again

This time I’ll do things right

But if I can’t stop you leavin’

Honey, give me this much

Not my key, but a kiss to start

The good times by

Not my key, but a kiss to start

The good times by

Not my key, but a kiss to start

The good times by

Piano solo outro

A flat in G minor-last note
