Late Goodbye Chords & Tabs
Poets of the fall - Late Goodbye
(from "The fall of Max Payne")
Tabbed by: Rob Kenney

Note: There are many ways to play this as the orginal has 3 or 4 guitars playing in harmonies. This version is based on the sheet music from the
bands website, www.poetsofthefall.com. This version is for those that want to play and sing the song without needing 3 people playing backup. The
chord changes can be a bit tricky in this version if, like me, you aren't a pro. Anyways, enjoy this awesome song. Email me with questions.
Also, Ive added the picking tabs below. If you have another person (or even two others), playing this in the background it sounds amazing. The best
way I've found to play this is to have one guitar do the picking, and the other two play the chords but when you get to the chorus one of the two
chord guitars plays the chords in the picking tab and the other plays the regular chors. This makes an amazing harmony. Good luck and have fun!!!

*- This variation of G6 seems to sound the best but if anyone can find a better one please let me know.
Em7 Am9
in our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes
Em7
on the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
Bm Am Em
lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am9 Dadd9 Em7
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am9 Dadd9 Em7
it's a late goodbye
Em7 Am9
your breath hot upon my cheeck, and we crossed, that line
Em7 Am9
you made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Bm Am Em
screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am9 Dadd9 Em7
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am9 Dadd9 Em7
it's a late goodbye
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am9 Dadd9 Em7
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
Bm Aadd9 Am9 G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am9 Dadd9 Em7
it's a late goodbye
(repeat once more!)
