Goodbye again    (video)    (intro)

 

          G     D            Em                      C                  G

1. It’s 5 o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise,

                  G         D        Em                        Am                   D

    there's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes.

              G           D        Em             C                     G

    The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone,

            G        D       Em                        Am                   D

    and so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come.

   

              Am     D            G     D      Em

It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you,

  Am           D     - G                       D       Em

goodbye again,       ‘cause if you didn't know,

       Am            D          G          D            Em

it's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me,

       Am                                                    D

why do we always fight, when I have to go ?

 

         G              D         Em                           C                       G

2. It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm

       G         D         Em                     Am                   D

    I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms.

       G         D          Em                     - C                                    G

    I long to kiss the tears away, and       give you back your smile,

          G         D       Em                   Am              D

    but other voices beckon me and for a little while.

   

+ CHORUS

   

                 Bm                   C                              G                         Em

    Have to go see some friends of mine, and some that I don't know,

             Am                         D                    G

    and some who aren't familiar with my name.

          Bm                         C                            G                 Em

    It's something that's inside of me, it’s not hard to understand,

          Am                                     D

    it’s anyone who'll listen to me sing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    G                      D           Em              - C                       G

3.     And if your hours are empty now,       who am I to blame

                  G      D             Em                   Am                  D

    Do you think if I were always here, our love would be same

G         D        Em                  - C                                G            

    As it is, the time we have,         is worth the time alone,

            G     D          Em                        Am                       D

    and lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known.

   

              Am     D            G     D      Em

It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you,

  Am           D     - G                       D       Em

goodbye again,       ‘cause if you didn't know,

       Am            D          G          D            Em

it's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me,

       Am                                                    D

why do we always fight, when I have to go ?
