H owevet,îor Lost Goodbye, you'[|'need a fairLythin tone, so a guitar with a singtecoiIpickupis best,

rcpeated without some kind of variationl There are a huge nurnber of chord boxes to $'ork throu€ih - don't be put off, tl-rev're not acnrally that tricky. The rhythms should corne fairly naturally ifyou use your ears and the strumrned electric guitar as a grride.

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 becauseI didnt know you at all.

Accompanied by main riff... 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

I'll only make you cry this is our last goodbye. Instrumental section

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 didnÌ knou him at all.you didnì know him at all"

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime

Burning cluesinto this heart of mine Thinking so hard on her soft eyesand the memory Of her sighsthat, "it's over...

it's over..."
