_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] It's gotta _ be this way, we [Dm] _ [Eb] haven't the nerve to say [Cm] goodbye.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] It's gotta _ be this way, we [Dm] haven't the [Eb]
nerve to say [Cm] goodbye.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ It's over [Dm] now, _ [Eb] _ _
and _ _ [Cm] _
we [F] both know it.
[Bb] _ _
_ _ But for some unobvious [Dm] reason, [Eb] _
well, _ we're [Cm] too afraid [F] to show _ [Db] you.
_ _ So she's trying to [Fm] hide the fact, [Gb] _
that _ _ she's found somebody new.
[Db] _ _
_ _ And I'm afraid to let her know, _ [F] _ _
_ that I've got _ [Bb] _ somebody to.
It's gotta _ _ be this way, we haven't the [Eb] nerve to say [Cm] goodbye. _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] It's gotta _ _ _ be this way, we haven't the [Eb] nerve to _ _ [Cm] say goodbye.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ We go through the motions _ [Eb] _ _
_ of [Cm] making love to each [F] other.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ But for all the good it [Dm] does, _ [Eb] _ _
_ I don't [Cm] see why we [F] bother.
_ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ Yet we go on [Fm] pretending, _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ that the two of us still care.
[Db] _ _
_ _ In order to hide the fact, [Eb] _ _
_ _ we've lost _ _ [F] someone [Bb] else.
It's gotta _ _ be this way, we haven't [Eb] the nerve to say [Cm] goodbye. _
Yes, we've done.
[Bb] It's gotta _ _ _ be this _ way, we [Dm] haven't the [Eb]
nerve _ to [Dm] say [Cm] goodbye.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] It's gotta be _ this way, _ we haven't the nerve to say goodbye.
