The Long Goodbye Capo 1
[INTRO]
G Em7/B D Cadd9 G Em7/B D Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G Em7/B
I know they say if you love somebody, you should set them free,
D Cadd9 G
But it sure is hard to do, sure is hard to do,
Em7/B
I know they say if it don’t come back again, then it’s meant to be,
D Cadd9 A#
Those words don’t pull me through, I’m still in love with you
[Pre-chorus]
F
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle,
D# A# Em7
But it’s just you and me going through the mill, climbing up a hill,
[CHORUS]
G
This is the long goodbye,
Em7/B D
Somebody tell me why, two lovers in love can't make it?
Cadd9 G
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart?
Em7/B
No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry,
D
Come on, baby it’s over let’s face it,
Cadd9 D G Em7/B D Cadd9
All that’s happening here is a long goodbye.
[VERSE 2]
G Em7/B
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really give our love a chance?
D Cadd9 G
But I know with out a doubt, we turned it inside out,
Em7/B
And if we walked away would it make more sense?
D Cadd9 A#
But it tears me up inside, just to think we still could try.
[Pre-chorus]
F D#
How long must we keep running on a carrousel, going round and round
A# Em7
And never getting anywhere, on a wing and prayer
[[Chorus]
G
This is the long goodbye,
Em7/B D
Somebody tell me why, two lovers in love can't make it?
Cadd9 G
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart?
Em7/B
No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry,
D
Come on, baby it’s over let’s face it,
Cadd9 D G Em7/B
All that’s happening here is a long goodbye.
