G                   A# 
See the sleep that rests upon 
     A                 C 
The quiet street we're standing on 

G           A# 
Is it time to go away? 
A                C 
Try again some other day? 

G              A#           A    C      
These are the words we use,  
             G  A#  A  C 
to say goodbye 

G              A#           A    C      
These are the words we use,  
             G  A#  A  C 
to say goodbye 

G             A# 
Bones crack, curtains drawn 
A                  C 
On my back and the sheet is gone 

G              A# 
Somewhere else I do not know 
A                   C 
Time will tell and I will go 

G              A#           A    C      
These are the words we use,  
             G  A#  A  C 
to say goodbye 

G              A#           A    C      
These are the words we use,  
             G  A#  A  C 
to say goodbye 


D          C 
(hammer the high e-string: f# with the D, and g with the C) 

D          C 


G            A# 
I will wait, take a turn 
A             C 
Sort it out, let it burn 

G          A# 
Empty out empty drawer 
A                      C 
In my pockets there's nothing more 


G              A#           A    C      
These are the words we use,  
             G  A#  A  C 
to say goodbye
