[Verse 1]
A5 E5     A5           E5
Oh,   I - I watch it all go down
A5  E5         A5          E5
Closed eyes - pretend no one's around
A5 B5 A5              B5
So       I - I    chose to play the clown
A5 B5 A5         B5
Or blow  by and   never make a sound

[Chorus]
E5         B5 C#5                   A5
Any other guy      would wanna take it outside
        E5           B5 C#5                      A5 (3 strums, then PM)
But I'd never even try        who wants to get their lights knocked out?
E5          B5 C#5                     A5
Any other guy         would wanna stir it up some,
        A5 B5  B5
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#5    A5     E5         B5
Hardly know what anything's for
C#5      A5      E5          B5
Just for show, I'm slamming the door
C#5 A5  E5            B5       A5
Even so, my heart and my head are an open book

[Instrumental]
A5 , E5 [x4]
or
Play the intro riff [x4]

[Chorus x2]

    A5 B5  B5
I'd rather say     goodbye

(End on E5 )
