The Song That Almost Got Away by Sarah Donner
Capo 3 bpm 230

E (G)
Maybe I got lost here, I just left my voice
Baby you should stay here, baby it’s your choice
A E (G)
I’m not in love, but I want you to know
B A (stop) E (G)
That I’ll be here when you come or go

I have been pacing across an empty hall
It’s not a race if no one shows up at all
It’s not a race but I still want to win
So I’ll be here if you decide to let me in

C#m B A B
Oh I was always running from all things I couldn’t say
C#m B A B
Oh you just keep me humming the song that almost got away
Plus 4 bars keith

E
Sifting through the ashes, knocking at your door
Waiting for an answer just like I did before
I’m not in love, but I’m not far out
I could be there, set me loose and let me out

C#m B A B
Oh I was always running from all things I couldn’t say
C#m B A B (no stop)
Oh you just keep me humming the song that almost got away
C#m B A B
Plus 8 bars Keith
E CRESCENDO
Breaking up the background, slowly letting go
No one’s keeping track of online radio
I’m not in love, my brain tells me so
I can’t be here when the heart wants to go go go go go

C#m B A B
C#m B A B
Oh I was always running from all things I couldn’t say
C#m B A B
Oh you just keep me humming the song that almost got away
C#m B A B
16 bars End E end on 9 ring out… ***nick cue keith 4 bars before***
