Almost Lover – A Fine Frenzy

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 
 
Chorus 
 
[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 
 
Chorus 
[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 
 
Did I make it that 
[Dm] Easy to walk right in and out 
Of my [G] life? 
 
Chorus 
 
[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
