Tom: E5

Intro:  E5  Db5  B5  A5  E5   Db5  B5  A5

E5
I know they say if you love somebody
Db5
You should set them free (so they say)
B5
But it sure is hard to do
A5                        E5
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
E5                                
And I know they say if they don't come back again
          Db5
Then it's meant to be ( so they say)
B5
But those words don?t pull me through
A5
Cos I'm still in love with you
D5
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
C5
But it's just you and me going through the mill
G5
(climbin' up a hill)

Chorus
E5
This is the long goodbye
Db5
Somebody tell me why
B5
Two lovers in love can't make it
A5
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
E5
No matter how hard I try
Db5
You're gonna make me cry
B5
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
A5                              B5    E5
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
E5
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Db5
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
B5
and I know without a doubt
  A5
I turned it inside out
E5
And if we walked away
                Db5
would make more sense (only self defense)
B5
But it tears me up inside
        A5
Just to think we still could try
D5
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
C5                                       G5
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?

(on a wing and prayer)

Chorus
E5
This is the long goodbye
Db5
Somebody tell me why
B5
Two lovers in love can't make it
A5
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
E5
No matter how hard I try
Db5
You're gonna make me cry
B5
Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it
A5                                B5        E5
All that's happening here is the long goodbye
