Am 
Your fingertips across my skin 
               F
The palm trees swaying in the wind 
   Am              F
Images 
            Am
You sang me Spanish lullabies
             F 
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
       Am           F
Clever trick 

        G                       C
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
  F                                G
I thought you'd want the same 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                    C 
 Almost lovers always do 

[Verse]
            Am
  We walked along a crowded street 
            F
You took my hand and danced with me 
   Am       F
Images 
             Am
And when you left, you kissed my lips 
                      F
You told me you would never, never forget
         Am       F
These images, no

          G                       C
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy 
  D                               G
I thought you'd want the same 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                    C 
 Almost lovers always do 

[Verse]
Am                   G
 I cannot go to the ocean
                              F 
I cannot drive the streets at night
                           Em
I cannot wake up in the morning 
                  Am
Without you on my mind 
                                G
Well so you're gone and I'm haunted 
                       F
And I bet you are just fine 

F
Did I make it that 
Fm
Easy to walk right in and out 
      G
Of my 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've known you'd bring me heartache
F                    C 
 Almost lovers always do
