Chords

A song from The Lost Recordings. Daniel's singing is pretty fluid here, and I've tried to indicate that here with the chord changes, which usually occur a little syncopated after an emphasized word. [Verse 1]
        C              G7  F  C
I'd like to say goodbye

         C                  G7
You can't really say goodbye  to those kinds of things

       F                    C
You carry them with you wherever you go

    C
Like ducks in the snow

           G7
That quack as they go

        F
The wind blows back

      C
Discarded trash
[Verse 2]
        C               G7  F  C
I'd like to say goodbye

      C                       G7
I feel that I must say goodbye  to everyone

             F
Though I love them so

      C
I love them all

      C                 G7
I feel if I said goodbye  to them

                F               C
I could say goodbye to a me I do not like

  F                C
A horrible nasty me

     F        C
That I despise
[Verse 3]
        C              G7  F  C
I'd like to say goodbye

      C                       G7
I feel that I must say goodbye  to dreams

     F                  C
Empty and hollow though charming they be

      C                  G7
I feel I must say goodbye  it seems

                                 F
Maybe I could just sneak out the back door

           C
Or say "See ya later!"

         F              C
And just never come back
[Verse 4]
        C                       G7
But you can't really say goodbye  to those kinds of things

       F                    C
You carry them with you wherever you go

     C
Like ducks in the snow

          G7
That quack  as they go

    F
The wind blows back

      C
Discarded trash

    C                  G7  F  C
I'd like to say goodbye
