Don't say goodnight

We gotta work this thing out right
G     D     C
Don't turn away 
                    Am              D
And tell me you got nothing more to say
 
 
Em  D       C
Why say goodbye?
Am                         D

Before we break down and cross over the line

Before we both break down and cry

And realize the only thing that matters

Why throw away

Everything we tried so hard to save?
