(x2)
[Verse 1]
C D Bm C
All my life I read between the lines
C D Bm D C
Held on too tight, you know I tried
C D Bm C
But in the end it left me paralyzed
C D Bm C
It's all right, goodbye, goodbye
C D Bm C
Seems like yesterday I was a child
C D Bm D C
Just a ripple in the folds of time
C D Bm C
I wish you well, I want to see you smile
C D Bm C
It's all right, goodbye goodbye
[Chorus]
Em D Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Em D Bm C
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
Em D Bm C
Lord knows how hard we tried
Em D Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
C D Bm C
So many things I want to say to you
C D Bm D C
So many sleepless nights I prayed for you
C D Bm C
My heart's an ashtray and I lost my mind
C D Bm D C
You bring the smokes, I've got the time
C D Bm C
I want to scream, I want to laugh, I want to close my eyes
C D Bm D C
I want to hide somewhere that's hard to find
C D Bm C
Stop wasting time trying to shape your life
C D Bm
It's all right, goodbye
C Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Chorus]
Em D Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Em D Bm C
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
Em D Bm C
Lord knows how hard we tried
Em D Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Instrumental]

C D Bm C
My pretty bird, my favorite lullaby
C D Bm D C
How'd I become the thorn in your side?
C D Bm C
All your laughter turned into a cry
C D Bm
It's all right, goodbye
C Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Em D Bm C
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
Em D Bm C
Lord knows how hard we tried

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
Em D Bm C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
