The long goodbye (video)

D - G - D - G (2x)

G Em

1. I know they say if you love somebody, you should set them free,

D C G

but it sure is hard to do, sure is hard to do.

G Em

I know they say if it don’t come back again, then it’s meant to be,

D C Bb

those words don’t pull me through, I’m still in love with you.

F

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle,

D# Bb Em

but it’s just you and me going through the mill, climbing up a hill.

G

This is the long goodbye,

Em - D

somebody tell me why, two lovers in love can't make it.

C G

Just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart ?

G - Em

No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry.

D

Come on, baby, it’s over, let’s face it,

C D - G

all that’s happening here is a long goodbye.

2. Sometimes I ask my heart : Did we really give our love a chance ?

D C G

But I know with out a doubt, we turned it inside out.

G Em

And if we walked away would it make more sense ?

D C Bb

But it tears me up inside, just to think we still could try.

F

+ How long must we keep running on a carrousel,

D# Em

going round and round, and never getting anywhere,

on a wing and prayer.

G

This is the long goodbye,

Em - D

somebody tell me why, two lovers in love can't make it.

C G

Just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart ?

G - Em

No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry.

D

Come on, baby, it’s over, let’s face it,

C D - G

all that’s happening here is a long goodbye.

+ Long goodbye !
