[Verse 1]
A9 E     A9           E
Oh,   I - I watch it all go down
A9  E         A9          E
Closed eyes - pretend no one's around
A9/F# B4/Ab A9              B4
So       I - I    chose to play the clown
A9/F# B4/Ab A9         B4
Or blow  by and   never make a sound

[Chorus]
E         B4 C#m7                   A9
Any other guy      would wanna take it outside
        E           B4 C#m7                      A9 (3 strums, then PM)
But I'd never even try        who wants to get their lights knocked out?
E          B4 C#m7                     A9
Any other guy         would wanna stir it up some,
        A9/F# B4/Ab  B4
But I'd rather say     goodbye

[Verse 2]
Turn 'round - say it to my face
No sound - Everything's a race
Lose ground - lost in your embrace
Leave town - never leave a trace

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
C#m7    A9     E         B4
Hardly know what anything's for
C#m7      A9      E          B4
Just for show, I'm slamming the door
C#m7 A9  E            B4       A9
Even so, my heart and my head are an open book

[Instrumental]
A9 , E [x4]
or
Play the intro riff [x4]

[Chorus x2]

    A9/F# B4/Ab  B4
I'd rather say     goodbye

(End on E )
