[Verse 1]
D
Well, I heard it from confidential sources
G
That you've been thinking 'bout losing my name
D
And you've been dialin' some unlisted number
A
At some Memphis, Tennessee exchange
D
Well, your plannin' on headin' down the highway
G
This time you're going for good
D
Well, honey don't think twice 'bout the pain you leave behind
A D
Just do me one favor if you would
[Chorus]
D G D
Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
A D
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
G D
All your sympathy, will only make me cry
A D
So get out, go on, get gone and don't say goodbye
[Verse 2]
N.C.
Now you were hoping you could break it to me gently
G D G
You were thinkin' we could part as friends
D
And if I'd only try and remain civil
A
I'd see it your way in the end
D
Well, pardon me while I beg to differ
G
'Cause I'm the one who's gotta live with the pain
D
And when you're out on the town, I'll still be broke down
A D
Don't you bother with tryin' to explain
[Chorus]
D G D
Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
A D
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
G D
All your sympathy, will only make me cry
A D
So get out, go on, get gone and don't say goodbye
[Bridge]
Bb
I don't need to have all the reasons numbered
A G
You can save those condolences for some other guy
A
Baby, some other time
[Chorus]
D G D
Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
A D
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
G D
All your sympathy, will only make me cry
A D
So get out, go on, get gone and don't say goodbye
A D
Yeah, get out, go on, get gone and don't say goodbye
