[Intro]
E C#m E C#m
[Verse]
EI tell ya It's hell yeah
C#mWhen love says goodbye, it's a four letter word
Because your Eheart knows when love goes
C#mThe feeling is bad it's the pits of the world
It's Asad but BtrueBsus2  
When Anothing you can Bdo can bring it Eback
[Chorus]
EStanding in the C#mrain
She starts to Ecry
(When love says goodbye)
Is it all a C#mgame
She wonders Awhy?
Why it had to Bstart?
Why should it Aend and Btake her Aapart?
[Verse]
EBecause she shows it She knows it
C#mBut what can she do, it's a four letter word
Because it sEhakes you It breaks you
C#mAnd when it's the end, it's the worst thing you heard
It's Aover BnowBsus2  
And Anothing you can Bdo can bring it Eback
[Chorus]
ECalling out his C#mname
She starts to Ecry
(When love says goodbye)
Guys are all the C#msame
She wants to Adie
Hide away the Btears
No one will Asee and no Bone must Ahear
[Bridge]
EbBut oh 
How can the Blove that she C#has be profEbane
N.C.
And how can something that's so beautiful
N.C.
Just Jeckyl and Hyde around? It's so sad
E C#m E C#m
[Chorus]
EI tell ya It's hell yeah
C#mWhen love says goodbye, it's a four letter word
Because your Eheart knows When love goes
C#mThe feeling is bad, it's the worst in the world
It's Asad but BtrueBsus2  
When Anothing you can Bdo, can get it Eback
[Chorus]
EStanding in the C#mrain
She starts to Ecry                
(When love says goodbye)
Shouting out his C#mname
Four letter Eword
 E   C#m| repeat and fade out
