Intro: D Bm G A
D Bm
Darlin', I was hoping that we could pretend
G F#m Em A A7
And make believe that we could still live happily and start again
D Bm
Seems like you and I, we've been caught up in your world of lies
G F#m Em A A7
I kept believing you could start a new and be a friend
F#m
Well I've got something I wanted to tell you and it's the last thing I wanted to say
But I think I must go there anyway...

Chorus
D(E) G(A) A(B) D(E)
Goodbye how do you say goodbye?
G(A) F#m(G#m) Bm(C#m)
Do I just look you in the eye, shake your hand, wish you well
Em(F#m) A(B) D(E) Bm(C#m) G(A) A(B E)
After all this time... I never wanted for goodbye
D Bm
Don't let go I was devoted to your heart and soul
G F#m Em A A7
And then we took a turn and I had to learn what I tried not to know
D Bm
Seems like yesterday I give the world just to hear you say
G F#m
A simple whisper of a word or two, like "I love you"
Em A A7
Breaks my heart to see it end this way
Repeat Chorus
F#m Em
Goodbye can it ever be the same?
F#m Em
Goodbye did we lose more than we gained?
F
There's nowhere to hide, baby I feel it inside
As my heart cries out your name, goodbye...
