 [Verse 1]
You lGaughed and called me lucky for Chaving you aGround
Then you stepped up to the Bmbar and started CswayGin'
The crowd all sang BmOphelia as we drCank another Ground
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
GRain fell on the window as we Cwatched the sailors Gdance
You kissed my hand and Bmsaid you were bCeside Gme
I held onto the Bmmoment when I Cthought there was a Gchance
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
[Chorus 1]
DWay out in the distance where the Cwaters fade to Gblue
You Dused to say tomorrow was a Cfoolish thing to Gdo
I Emthought I'd seen it all before but Cnothing quite like Gyou
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
[Verse 2]
I'd Gread to you the letters that had Cblown in from the Gwest
And we'd whisper of the Bmdreams that we'd been CsavGin'
You said you'd have it Bmall, nothing morCe, nothing Gless
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
[Chorus 2]
DNow there's an emptiness Cstanding at the Gdoor
DTrying to take me back to the Cway I was Gbefore
EmI used to feel alone here but it's Cnot that way no Gmore
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
[Verse 3]
NGow the drunks have turned to strangers, And the Cstars are out of Gtune
As I think about the Bmone who might have Csaved Gme
I know you're out there Bmsomewhere between the Chighway and the Gmoon
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
Oh bye bye, Cbye bye DbabGy
