[Intro] C D Bm C C D Bm D C (x2) [Verse 1]
C      D             Bm       C
All my life I read between the lines

C            D          Bm   D   C
Held on too tight, you know I tried

C           D            Bm   C
But in the end it left me paralyzed

C          D        Bm       C
It's all right, goodbye, goodbye

C           D        Bm       C
Seems like yesterday I was a child

C       D            Bm    D    C
Just a ripple in the folds of time

C           D                  Bm    C
I wish you well, I want to see you smile

C          D      Bm      C
It's all right, goodbye goodbye
[Chorus]
Em    D       Bm      C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Em       D           Bm          C
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry

Em      D        Bm       C
Lord knows how hard we tried

Em      D        Bm      C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
C          D             Bm      C
So many things I want to say to you

C          D                 Bm     D C
So many sleepless nights I prayed for you

C          D                     Bm    C
My heart's an ashtray and I lost my mind

C             D            Bm  D   C
You bring the smokes, I've got the time

C          D                Bm                     C
I want to scream, I want to laugh, I want to close my eyes

C           D                   Bm    D   C
I want to hide somewhere that's hard to find

C            D                 Bm     C
Stop wasting time trying to shape your life

C         D       Bm
It's all right, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Em       D           Bm          C
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry

Em      D         Bm       C
Lord knows how hard we tried

Em      D        Bm     C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

My pretty bird, my favorite lullaby

C        D               Bm   D   C
How'd I become the thorn in your side?

C           D             Bm     C
All your laughter turned into a cry
