  			C                    F 
Seems like I've been here before  
G                 C 
Just outside some closing door  
                   F               G 
Standing here just searching for a line  
C                      F 
You'd think by now I'd have it down  
G                  C  
I know I should be wiser now  
                     F                G 
Cause no one's gonna bail me out this time cause 
        F           G              C 
I'm not gettin  any better at goodbyes  
        F                          C  
I'm not any better now than when I first began  
         D7                          G 
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then  
C              F 
I suppose I cry a lot  
G                  Am               F           G             C 
The only thing for sure is  I'm not gettin' any better at goodbyes  
 
SOLO 
 
C                     F 
Friends will come and friends will go  
G                   C 
But lovers memories die so slow  
C                     F                 G 
And they won't always let you know it's time oh 
C                   F 
But even this shall pass I guess and 
G                   C 
You'll be just like all the rest  
C                  F               G 
I'll start dusting off all my best lines cause 
        F           G             C 
I'm not gettin' any better at goodbyes  
        F                          C  
I'm not any better now than when I first began  
         D7                          G 
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then  
C           F 
I suppose I cry a lot  
G                  Am               F           G             C 
The only thing for sure is  I'm not gettin  any better at goodbyes 
        F           G             C 
I'm not gettin  any better at goodbyes
