Why We Said Goodbye - Tim McGraw Album: Set This Circus Down Writers: Tom Douglas/William Kirsch This is the closest I could get for an acoustic guitar version. I'd pick most of the song and strum maybe the chorus. I think the CD is tuned funky, it may not sound right on playing to the CD, but it seems to work if you play it acoustically. **Capo 2** Intro: "A" progression (see below) Asus2 A I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach Asus2 A And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats Dsus2 The hours of the tide chart D Dsus2 Asus2 The way the sunlight danced upon your face Asus2 A That antique roller coaster you just had to ride Asus2 A I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes Dsus2 The color and the detail D Dsus2 Asus2 Just like it was yesterday Chorus: D Dsus2 And I remember how you held me the night my father died Asus2 A Asus2 I didn't have to tell you, I just broke down and cried D Dsus2 A F#m You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life Bm F#m E Asus2 And I just can't remember why we said goodbye Asus2 A Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit Asus2 A I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is Dsus2 The sails out in the harbor D Dsus2 Asus2 Are searching for, the wind Chorus 2: D Dsus2 I just had to call you, I had to hear your voice Asus2 F#m F#m7 And tell you I still love you we still have a choice D Dsus2 A F#m You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life Bm F#m E Asus2 And I just can't remember why we said goodbye Bb F Gm F Everything I do, leads me back to you C F D E I know I just can't let us go Chorus 3: D Dsus2 There must have been a reason, but I can't remember now Asus2 F#m F#m7 I know if I could hold you we could work it out D Dsus2 A F#m You're sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life Bm F#m E And girl let's give it one more try Bm F#m E Asus2 Cause I just can't remember why we said goodbye |Asus2 A |Asus2+ A | <---This is the intro progression, it is also used in the interludes between verses and choruses if you want it to sound closer to the piano.
