Bittersweet Goodbye

Verse 1

G D/F#
I never thought we’d stand at this crossroad,
Em7 Cadd9
Didn’t want it ending this way.
G D/F#
But sometimes love just runs out of runway,
Em7 Cadd9
No matter how bad we wanna stay.
G D/F#
I held on tighter than I should,
Em7 Cadd9 D
But letting go is what we’ve gotta do.

Chorus

G D/F#
It’s a bittersweet goodbye, I have to let you go,
Em7 Cadd9
You’ll always take up space, deep in my soul.
G D/F#
I love you more than words will ever show,
Em7 Cadd9
But I can’t hold you close if it keeps us from hope.
G D/F#
We both need our peace, we both need to heal,
Em7 Cadd9 D G
Just know from here on forward, my love is real.

Verse 2

G D/F#
I don’t wanna walk this road without you,
Em7 Cadd9
But we can’t keep dragging the chain.
G D/F#
The hardest kind of love is surrender,
Em7 Cadd9
When staying just brings us more pain.
G D/F#
So take my blessing, take my prayer,
Em7 Cadd9 D
Carry my heart with you everywhere.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge (big lift, full band comes in)

Em7 D/F#
And if you ever call my name,
G Cadd9
I’ll be right here, nothing’s changed.
Em7 D/F#
Time and distance can’t erase
G Cadd9 D
The fire we lit, the love we shared.

Final Chorus (full power)

G D/F#
It’s a bittersweet goodbye, I have to let you go,
Em7 Cadd9
You’ll always take up space, deep in my soul.
G D/F#
I love you more than words will ever show,
Em7 Cadd9
But I can’t hold you close if it keeps us from hope.
G D/F#
We both need our peace, we both need to heal,
Em7 Cadd9 D G
Just know from here on forward, my love is real.

Outro (fade on strummed G–D/F#–Em7–Cadd9 progression)

Yeah, you’re loved, always will be…
Even if it’s a bittersweet goodbye.
