E5   F5        A5     A5
I'll say good - bye to love;
D5           E5                A5       A5
No one ever cared if I should live or die.
D5            E5        F5       C#5               F#5
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by;
    B5    A5               D5     D5      A5   A5
And all I know of love is how to live without it --
  C#5                 F#5 B5
I just can't seem to find it.
A5        A5     D5     E5      A5       A5   E5 
So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone;
      A5        A5      D5   E5      A5         A5     E5
And though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known


    ( E5 )      F5     A5     A5
I'd say good - bye to love.
D5             E5                A5       A5
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine;
D5               E5        F5    C#5      F#5
Surely time will lose these bitter memories and I'll 
B5                  A5            D5      D5     A5   A5
Find that there is someone to believe in and to live for, 
C#5                F#5 B5
Something I could live for.
A5        A5     D5      E5           A5       A5       E5
All the years of useless search have fin'ly reached an end
A5      A5     D5     E5       A5     A5    E5
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
          F#5          A5                  D5          E5   E5
From this day, love is forgotten -- I'll go on as best I can.

Instrumental Interlude: First 5 lines of verse


D5         D5      G5    G5    D5      D5     A5
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
A5      A5     D5      E5      A5       A5      E5
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
C5                F5        D5     C5        A5          G5
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong,
         C5              G5        G5      D5      C5
But for now this is my song, and it's goodbye to love
             G5       C5
I'll say goodbye to love.
