in the chorus, sometimes D sounds like Bm and vice versa...


A                          D
There's no going back to there
              A            D
Some of them can't even react
        A            D
Didn't say it's not OK
           A                D
But we are dealing the same way

          D
I ain't telling you a secret  ---> CHORUS
            Bm                A D A A B (+ 9)
I ain't telling you GOODBYE

(main riff)
It's the last thing on my mind

Still you won't let things unwind

Instead it stayed around your head

Can't you hear a word I said  (CHORUS)

(main riff)
When you call, it's just not fair

It's the last thing you should share

I can't deal, I'll let you know

Still I wish you'd let it go (CHORUS)

      D
I'm telling you for one last time
A                                            E
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER
   D
I waited it out long as I could
A                                     E
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE

solo: D A E D A E A

A                          D
There's no going back to there
              A            D
Some of them can't even react
        A            D
Didn't say it's not OK
           A                D
But we are dealing the same way (CHORUS)

Goodbye...Goodbye...Goodbye...

      D
I'm telling you for one last time
A                                            E
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER
   D
I waited it out long as I could
A                                     E
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE

      D
I'm taking away alot of stuff
     A                                     E
I'm telling you it's rough or not, you're GONE

D ...

I'm sure of all the lyrics except for two parts:
        Where it goes:  cause HER
                        you're GONE
