Chorus:

   C                     Bb
We thought that love was over
     Am             Gm
That we were really though
  F             FM7
I said I didn't love her,
     Dm           Cdim
That we'd begin a-new

    C              Bb
And you can all be-lieve me
   Am            C7
We sure intended to
       G7            C7       F   Cdim
But we just couldn't say good-bye

    C                  Bb
The chair and then the sofa
     Am                   Gm
They broke right down and cried
    F                FM7
The curtains started wavin'
   Dm            Cdim
For me to com in-side

  C               Bb
I  tell you confi-dentially
    Am                 C7
The tears were hard to hide
       G7            C7       F
And we just couldn't say good-bye

    Cm7                F7
The clock was striking twelve o'clock
   Bb           F+ Bb
It  smiled on usbe-low
     Dm7             G7
With folded hands it seemed to say
      C       BbmF+  C FC7
We'll miss youifyou go

   C               Bb
So I went back and kissed her
    Am              Gm
And when I looked a-round
    F                FM7
The room was singin' love songs
    Dm            Cdim
And dancin up and

    C                  Bb
And  now we're both so happy
   Am                  C7
Be-cause at last we've  found
        G7            C7       F  FdimC7
That we just couldn't say good-bye

Verse:

F         Dm       Gm
People in love are funny
       C7         F
Mighty hard to ex-plain
C7              F
One minute they quarrel
             E7              Am  EC7
Then they're back together a-gain

F       C7       F
Take my case for in-stance
E7              Am
We had a little fuss
C      G7         C      A
Listen ladies and gentle-men
Dm7         G7          C FC7
Here's what happened to us
