NEITHER ONE OF US
(WANTS TO BE THE FIRST TO SAY GOODBYE)
By: Jim Weatherly
Gladys Knight
Key: F
V:1
3 -3 3 -3 4 4 -3* -3 3 -3*
It’s sad to think we’re not gon-na make it
3 -3 -3* -3 -3* -3 -3*
And it’s got-ten to the point
-2 -5 4 -3* -3 4
where we just can’t fake it
-3* 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 -3*
but for some un-god-ly rea-son
-2 4 4 -3* -3 -2
we just won’t let it die
-2 -3* -3 3 -3 3 -2
I guess nei-ther one of us
3 3 3 3 3 3 -2 2 -2
wants to be the first to say good-bye
V:2
I keep wondering, what
I’m gonna do without you
And I guess you must be wondering
that same thing too
So we go on, go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
wants to be the first to say goodbye
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
Ev-‘ry-time I find the nerve
-6 -55-3* -5 -5 5
to say I’m leav-in’
-5 5 -4 -3* -2 -2 3 -34
Old mem-o-ries get in my way
7 -6 -6 -6 -5 -5
Lord knows, it’s on-ly me
-5 6 -6 6 5
that I’m de-ceiv-ing
-2 3 -3 -3 -3 3 -3 -2
When it comes to say-ing good-bye
-3 -3* 4 -5 4 -3 3
That’s a word I just can’t say
V:3
There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it
just one more try
-2 3 -3 3 -3 3 -2
Be-cause nei-ther one of us
3 3 3 3 -3 3 -2 2 -2
wants to be the first to say good-bye
