Intro: Em C G D 2x Em C G D I've spent all my life just carrying on Em C G D And for every right thing I've done ten have been wrong Em C G D And It's not that I'm bragging for the sake of a song Em C G But life looks much better in perspective Em C G D And your eyes look at me from near and from far Em C G D Ten thousand miles and you're still where you are Em C G D Another brass rail in another old bar Em C G I'm better at dreaming than living Chorus: Em C G D For every hello there's a thousand good byes Em C G D And leaving is harder when I look in your eyes Em C G D You've got to believe me I'm not telling lies Em C G Em That for every hello there's a thousand good byes C G D Em C G D Em C G D The years slip away like the spring melts the snow Em C G D And I'm older and wiser than you'll ever know Em C G D And if you believe that then it's time I should go Em C G D 'Cause I'm just as confused and more twisted Em C G D And things keep on changing for better or worse Em C G D And rhymes just get harder with every new verse Em C G D And to say that I love you sounds way too perverse Em C G D 'Cause I'm getting on that bus in the morning Chorus Em C G D 2x Em C G / D C I could give it all to you D C D But I can't control the things that I do C And I don't know what to say D C D 'Cause the sun's coming up and I know I can't stay Chorus (x2) So goodbye And goodbye Em Yeah goodbye C G / D / / / C
