[Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]

G                   Bm   Am 
We've been flirting with disaster now

C                      G
I don't know if we can turn this one around

G                    Bm      Am
We used to spend our days in laughter but somehow

   C                               G
It seems that I can only bring you down

[Chorus]

            G                  C
I know that time is not on our side

                G                      C
But if it's too late, no more tears to cry

             Em           C
And I wonder why we never decide

       D        C        G
To say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 2]

G                     Bm      Am
I know that you don't like to compromise

C                           G
You always seem to get your way

G                   Bm     Am
And if you'd take a little of your own advice

C                                        G
Love, it seems you'd rather throw it all away

[Chorus]

            G                  C
I know that time is not on our side

                G                      C
But if it's too late, no more tears to cry

             Em           C
And I wonder why we never decide

       D        C        G
To say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Instrumental Break] G C (x3) G Am G [Verse 3]

G              Bm    Am
If there's one thing I don't understand

C                                    G
It's what you thought you'd get from me

G                  Bm  Am
When you're lonely and I'm far away

C                    G
I bet you'll miss my company

[Chorus]

            G                  C
I know that time is not on our side

                G                      C
But if it's too late, no more tears to cry

             Em           C
And I wonder why we never decide

       D        C        G
To say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
