A F#m E D  x2
[Verse 1]
A                           F#m
I know they say if you love somebody
                         E
You should set them free (so they say)
                          D
But it sure is hard to do
                          A
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
                                       F#m
And I know they say if they don't come back again
                                  E
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
                                 D
But those words ain't pulling me through
                              C
Cos I'm still in love with you
             Am                     G
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
F             Fmaj7            C                                    G   A
But it's just you and me going through the mill (climbin' up a hill)
[Chorus 1]
A
This is the long goodbye
F#m
Somebody tell me why
E
Two lovers in love can't make it
D
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
A
No matter how hard I try
F#m
You're gonna make me cry
E
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
D                          E    A
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
[Verse 2]
A                               F#m
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
                            E
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
                         D
And I know without a doubt
                     A
I turned it inside out
                                                F#m
And if we walked away, Would make more sense (only self defense)
E                        D
But it tears me up inside
                                 C
Just to think we still could try
          Am                      G
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
F               Fmaj7                   C                                G  A
Going round and round and never getting anywhere? (on a wing and prayer)
[Chorus 2]
A
This is the long goodbye
F#m
Somebody tell me why
E
Two lovers in love can't make it
D
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
A
No matter how hard I try
F#m
You're gonna make me cry
E
Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it
D                            E      A
All that's happening here is the long goodbye
C Am G F Fmaj7 C G A
[Chorus 3]
A
This is the long goodbye
F#m
Somebody tell me why
E
Two lovers in love can't make it
D
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
A
No matter how hard I try
F#m
You're gonna make me cry
E
Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it
D                            E      A
All that's happening here is the long goodbye
A             F#m            E           D
