G D D Am7

Over and over, I keep going over

Am7 G G D A D

The things that you said then walked out of my life

G D D Am7

The chain has been broken, the words have been spoken

Am7 G G D A D

The door it is open and waiting for you

D D7 G D

Somewhere there's a reason, there's a reason why

G D Em A

Why love has to falter, why love has to die and I know

D D7 G D

Somewhere there's an answer, but it can't tell me

G D Em A

What I need to hear, what I need to see, and I go

G D D Am7

Over and over, I keep going over

Am7 G G D A D

The things that you said then walked out of my life

Goodbye is all that comes to me, goodbye is all I can hear

So long, it seems so long to me now, woah, oh, woah

Somewhere in the distance, there's a child who sees

G D Em A

Looking for a reason, looking to be free and I know

Somewhere there's an answer, but it can't tell me

G D Em A

What I need to hear, what I need to see, and I go

G D D Am7

Over, and over

The things that you said then walked out of my life

Goodbye is all that comes to me, goodbye is all I can hear
