Gm                                              D#
As I slide the key in the ignition of this ol' truck
and fire it up
            A#                                    F
I'm struck hard by the heaviness of this situation
             Gm
My eyes are fixed on the small silver half
                             D#
heart keychain you gave me dangling in the
dashboard light
   A#                                        F
I read the word "forever" over and over again,
I wanna cry

I turn off my radio as I turn off your county road
To pick you up just like
I've done at least a thousand times
The gravel underneath these tires
Half mile stretch of ol' barbed wire
Drops of rain fallin' from the sky seem
to know my pain
Know that I'm about to

Chorus:
Gm                                    D#
Reach out to hold your hand in mine, feel your
love baby one more time
  A#                                            F
Press against your lips and hold you tight, I know
the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
Gm                                 D#
I could put it off for another day act like
everything's gonna be okay
             A#
It's gonna break my heart to see you cry
    F
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

See it's not that what I got to do is more
important than you
It's, it's just what I gotta do
And I know you don't understand
Hell I don't understand myself

As I pull up to your house,
I feel my head spinnin' around
Just thinkin' about how everything
is about to change
Every step I take towards your door
I'm a little less certain than the step before
Oh but I know, I know, I know what I gotta do

Chorus:
I gotta reach out and hold your hand in mine
Feel your love baby one more time
Press against your lips and hold you tight
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
I could put it off for another day
Act like everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna break my heart to see you cry
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

Reach out and hold your hand in mine
Feel your love baby one more time
Press against your lips and hold you tight
Yeah, I could put it off for another day
Act like everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna break my heart to see you cry
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
Goodbye
