Intro:

Verse 1:

Em7                                   A7
 There ain't no reason for us sittin' down,
   Em7                      A7
To try to talk our problems out.
        Dm7      G7        Cm       F7
'Cos we know the truth; it ain't no use;
     Bbmaj7        A7      D
Each other we must do with-out.

Verse 2:

Em7                                      A7
 There ain't no reason tryin' to force a smile,
     Em7                   A7
When pain is really in its place.
        Dm7      G7        Cm       F7
'Cos we know the truth; it ain't no use;
      Bbmaj7         A7          D
Let's part before we lose love's trace. (We've got to say);

Chorus 1:

Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye, (woah, oh oh ooh),
Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye.
                Dm7        G7
Woah, oh oh oh, woah, woah oh,
Cm        F7  Bbma7 A7  D
 Woah, oh oh, oh,   ooh.

Verse 3:

Em7                                   A7
 As I look back, I'm really tryin' to see,
     Em7                      A7
Just what it was that made us spark;
         Dm7    G7      Cm        F7
'Cos the fire's out, it leaves no doubt;
    Bbmaj7              A7     D
The flame's not burning in our hearts.

Verse 4:

Em7                                     A7
 We still are young and both of us have time,
   Em7                     A7
To find our winter love in spring.
        Dm7      G7        Cm       F7
Yes, we know the truth; it ain't no use;
      Bbmaj7           A7    D
We're not each other's ev'ry-thing.
(We always must say goodbye);

Chorus 2:

Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye, (woah, oh oh ooh),
Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye.
                Dm7        G7
Woah, oh oh oh, woah, woah oh,
Cm        F7  Bbma7 A7   D
 Woah, oh oh, oh,   ooh.  (Hate to say goodbye);

Chorus 3:

Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye, (woah, oh oh ooh),
Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye.
                Dm7        G7
Woah, oh oh oh, woah, woah oh,
Cm        F7  Bbma7 A7   D
 Woah, oh oh, oh,   ooh.  (Why we say goodbye);

Chorus 4:

Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye, (woah, oh oh ooh),
Em7  A7   Em7     A7
 Bye bye, bye bye bye.
                Dm7        G7
Woah, oh oh oh, woah, woah oh,
Cm        F7  Bbma7 A7  D
 Woah, oh oh, oh,   ooh.

(Repeat to End):

Em               A7
 So long, baby...bye-bye, baby.
