The Long Goodbye

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