Intro: C 

C                              F               C 
Her heart was shattered by the cruel things he said
                                  D            G 
She went right for his pride, and ripped it to shreds

He said, "I never really loved you" 
          F               C
She said, "I don't really care" 
                                G          C
Lord you'd never even know love ever lived there 
         N.C.                   C
        It's just your basic goodbye 

        Just your plain old everyday 

        Don't let the door hit ya 
         F   G
        Goodbye 
                               C
        Just your average farewell 
                                                                   F
        To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known

        Farewell 
             F                        G              F#
        Somebody's settin' fire to a bridge tonight  
              F                     G           F#
        It's front row at an Ali/Frazier fight  
         F                       G
        Barnum & Bailey shoulda bought the rights 
                             C
        Just your basic goodbye 
         C                       F       C
When you first fall in love it's forever time 
                            D              G
Then one day it happens and you don't know why 
      C
Sweet nothings turn into 
                 F
Such mean bitter words 
                              G            C
And insults start flyin' like you've never heard 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Fiddle Solo 
                               C
        Just your average farewell 
                                                                   F
        To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known

        Farewell
