Intro: C 
            F    C 
It's almost sunrise 
          F     C    G 
Hours and hours gone by 
            F      C 
Candles are burned down 
            F  C    G       Am 
Turned into morning light 
Am              G               C 
    The time to go has come and gone 
          F-Fm7  C         G         C 
Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight? 

                   F    C 
The whole world is sleeping 
            F     C    G 
And still I can't give in 
            F   C 
It's a love story 
        F    C  G 

I never want to end 
Am              G               C 
    The time to go has come and gone 
          F-Fm7  C         G        C 
Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight? 

A               Dm               G 
   I'm using up all my strength 
                C            
I can't tear myself away 
Am            Dm         F 

It only gets harder as  
               G 
night turns to day 

            F   C 
There isn't one place 
                F   C  G 
Honey, that I'd rather be 
                   F    C 
 
Then Right here in your arms 
               F     C  G 
With your head lying on me 

Am              G               C 
    The time to go has come and gone 
          F-Fm7  C         G         C 
Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight? 
        C         G         C 
Darling why can't I say goodnight?
