[Verse 1]
      G    G/F#        Em               C             G
It's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise

        G        G/F#   Em               Am7            D7
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes

    G         G/F#   Em           C               G
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone

     G     G/F# Em                Am7             D7
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
[Chorus]
            Am7     D7      G     G/F#  Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you

Am7        D7  G         G/F#   Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know

         Am7    D7        G    G/F#      Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me

    Am7                               D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Verse 2]
G          G/F#     Em                 C                 G
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm

  G       G/F#   Em             Am7             D7
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms

  G       G/F#     Em         C                   G
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile

    G     G/F#   Em             Am7           D7
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while
[Chorus]
        Am7     D7      G     G/F#  Em
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you

Am7        D7  G         G/F#   Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know

         Am7    D7        G    G/F#      Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me

    Am7                               D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Bridge]
          Bm              C                G         G/F#    Em
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know

Am7                D7            G
Some who aren't familiar with my name,

     Bm                 C              G       G/F#  Em
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand

       Am7      C             D7
It’s anyone who listens to me sing
[Verse 3]
G           G/F#      Em         C           G
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame

    G        G/F#   Em               Am7                D7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same?

G     G/F#   Em            C                   G
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone

    G     G/F#    Em                 Am7             D7
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
[Chorus]
            Am7     D7          G     G/F#  Em
But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you

Am7        D7  G         G/F#   Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know

         Am7    D7        G    G/F#      Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me

    Am7                               D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
