Say gG#moodbye and send me oF#ff with a kiEss farewBell.
And I pG#mromise I'll F#be just as stErong as I can bBe.
MEaybe you could get some sF#leep tonighBt. 
[1st Verse]
So here's your Bsong. It's twisting F#me.
I'd give anytEhing to make you sBcream. 
And I'll just sBmile, and make belF#ieve I don't feel a tEhing. That doesn't
G#mWork for F#me. E  
[2nd Chorus]
OG#mh well, oh wF#ell. Guess I'll sEee you in a little wBhile. 
There's a pG#mretty little piF#cture that's Ein my heBad.
And I'm stG#marting to dF#ream, changing coElors while I sBleep.
MaEybe I'm just wasting tF#ime.
