Vers 1
Darlin’, I was hoping that we could pretend
And make believe that we could still live happily and start again [Bb-]
Seems like you and I, we’ve been caught up in your world of lies
I kept believing you could start a new and be a friend [Bb-]
Well I’ve got something I wanted to tell you
and it’s the last thing I thought I could say
But I think I must go there anyway…

Chorus:
Goodbye how do you say goodbye?
Do I just look you in the eye, shake your hand, wish you well
After all this time ? I never wanted for goodbye ([Eb-]ab ab [Cm-]g g [Ab-]f eb [Bb-]d c)

Vers 2
Don’t let go I was devoted to your heart and soul
And then we took a turn and I had to learn what I tried not to know [Bb-]
Seems like yesterday I give the world just to hear you say (ooh oohooh ooh)
A simple whisper of a word or two, like “I love you” it breaks my heart to see it end this way [Bb-]

Chorus:
Goodbye how do you say goodbye? (ooh ooh ooh)
Do I just look you in the eye, shake your hand, wish you well
After all this time ? I never wanted for
All this time

Goodbye can it ever be the same? (ooh ooh ooh)
Goodbye did we lose more than we gained?
There’s nowhere to hide, no baby I feel it inside (ooh)
As my heart cries out your name

Goodbye how do you say goodbye? Uhh baby
goodbye goodbye
Do I just look you in the eye, shake your hand, wish you well
After all this time ? I never wanted for goodbye
All this time F Dm
Darlin’, I was hoping that we could pretend
Outro: Bb Am Gm F
Goodbye?

Only In My Dreams by Debbie Gibson

Tabbed/Chorded by Joseph Visaggi

Intro
[—–]Eb, Bbm, Db, Ab

Verse 1

-------

Every time I’m telling secrets
I remember how it used to be
And I realized how much I miss you
And I realize how it feels to be free

Now I see I’m up to no good (no, no, no)
And I wanna start again
Can’t remember when I felt good (baby)
No I can’t remember when

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/debbie_gibson/only_in_my_dreams_crd.html )
Chorus

------

No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

Verse 2

-------

Couldn’t see how much I missed you (now I do)
Couldn’t see how much it meant
Now I see my world come tumbling down
(tumbling down my world)
Now I see the road is bent

If I only once could hold you (no, no, no)
And remember how it used to be
If only I could scold you
And forget how it feels to be free

No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

VERSE 2:
I have never had a doubt
But for you I’ll take time out
I’ll push his love far away from me
And then I’ll be completely free
I’ll give up my security
For just the possibility
That we could be together for a while

CHORUS:
If you said “jump!” I’d say “how high?”
If you said “run!” I’d run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
And if you ask once, I’ll tell you twice
I’ll ignore the world’s advice
If we could be together for a while

VERSE 3:
I am taken by your strength
I’ve thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
But there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I’ll sit here till that telephone rings
Then we could be together for a while

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE 1:
Wait’ll I tell my guy (wait’ll I tell)
Wait’ll I tell my other friends
They’ll all think I’m crazy’

And ya know what?
That depends…
‘cause I’m crazy in love
With you
And everyone’s best won’t do
They’ll say my hopes
Will not come true
But I’m taking the chance

Because you only live once
(Only live once, only live once)

And…

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE 2:
There are no guarantees
But if it means
There’s even a possibility
Then I’ll give up whatever it takes
I know I’ve made mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
For a while

(CHORUS)

OUTRO:
Don’t you know that we could be together
For a while.
