Goodbye My Lover (acoustic)

Written by James Blunt/Sacha Skarbek

	  		I figured this out from watching James play this on MTV live, so this is his acoustic version. He doesn't strum though, it's all just randomly finger plucked. 
 
E 
Did I disappoint you? 
C#m 
Or let you down? 
A 
Should I be feeling guilty, 
                B 
Or let the judges frown? 
E                             C#m 
Cuz I saw the end, before we'd begun 
          G#m                                 A               B 
Yes I saw you were blind, and I knew I had won 
E                                          C#m 
So I took what's mine, by eternal right 
A                                                  B           
Took your soul out into the night 
E                              C#m 
It may be over, but it won't stop there 
        G#m                       A      B 
I am here for you, if you'll only care 
E                                             
You touched my heart you touched my soul 
C#m 
Changed my life and all my goals 
A 
Love is blind and that I knew when 
                       B 
My heart was blinded by you 
E 
I've kissed your lips and held your head 
C#m 
Shared your dreams and shared your bed 
G#m 
I know you well, I know your smell 
A                  B            
I've been addicted to you 
 
 
Chorus: 
E                             C#m 
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend 
A                                                    B 
You have been the one, you have been the one for me 
E                             C#m 
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend 
                A                                    B                        E                A 
You have been the one, you have been the one for me. 
 
(same) 
I am a dreamer, and when I wake 
You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take 
And as you move on, remember me, 
Remember us and all we used to be 
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile 
Watched you sleeping for awhile 
I'd be the father of your child, 
I'd spend a lifetime with you 
I know your fears and you know mine 
We've had our doubts but now we're fine and I love you, I swear that's true 
I cannot live without you 
 
Chorus 
 
E   A   E   B 
 
BRIDGE 
A             B                          C#m 
And I still hold your hand in mine 
    G#m     
In mine when I'm asleep 
A             C#m                 G#m 
And I will bear my soul in time 
                 A                       B 
When I'm kneeling at your feet 
 
Chorus 
 
E   C#m   A   B   E
