[Verse 1]
              G7                C
Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
              G7                                        C
But life goes on, and this whole world will keep on turning.
              F               G7                C
Let just be glad we had some time to spend together.
             F                 Dm                  G7
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.
 
 
[Chorus]
          C             G7
Lay your head upon my pillow.
                                         C
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
                                          F                 Dm
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin soft against the window
G7                                                             C
  And make believe you love me one more time, for the good times.
 
 
[Verse 2]
           G7                  C
I'll get along, you'll find another
             G7                                  C
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
             F             G7           C
Don't say a word about tommorrow or forever
               F                 Dm                G7
There will be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
 
 
[Chorus]
          C             G7
Lay your head upon my pillow.
                                         C
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
                                          F                 Dm
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin soft against the window
G7                                                             C
  And make believe you love me one more time, for the good times.

because of the country bassline, try the g7 as a bar chord insted of 320001 (low to high) try 353433. i bet that will help you and that c run is the same as a million beatles songs it makes the d minor sound right as well. funny how much it changes things even though its technically the same.
