Last Goodbye Tab

/                /
This is our last goodbye
                                 
I hate to feel the love between us die
           
But it's over
            
Just hear this and then I'll go :
       
 you gave me more to live for,
                       /
more than you'll ever know.

/ etc. 
This is our last embrace,
                                
must I dream and always see your face
                          
Why can't we overcome this wall
                                        
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

(Weird chords -- kind of Dm then Gm7, repeated)

                 
Kiss me, please, kiss me
                                           
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
                                         
You know, it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
                                         /
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
                              
and did you rush to the phone to call?
                                          
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying, 
/                                
"maybe... you didn't know him at all."
                                        
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
                                /
Burning clues into this heart of mine
                                         
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory 
                              
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

/ twice, then -- (last chord left hanging).


*Note:
The Dsus means D suspended, and it's easy (and nice). It's just a standard D major with
an added 4th note, as follows. 
E |---|-2-|(4)|     The 2/3/1 chord is the D major.  Adding the (4)
B |---|---|-3-|     turns it into a Dsus.
G |---|-1-|---|
D |---|---|---|
A |---|---|---|
E |---|---|---|
