Verse 1 
E                                      A                 E 
It only took a minute for us to finally end it 
                                                      B 
I guess we'd seen it coming for some time 
E                                             A                    E 
And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over 
          A                         E          B            E 
But it took us all night long to say goodbye  
 
    B            E                       A                     B                  E 
    Now the flame is gone I know and the ashes have grown cold 
                                                A                 B 
    And the love we had we'll never have again 
           E                             A        B                          E    
    But there's one ember left, it must have never died 
                    A                         E          B             E            
    'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Verse 2 
Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken 
And holding on would be a waste of time 
But sometimes I know I'll wonder if it was really over 
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye 
 
Chorus 
    Now the flame is gone I know and the ashes have grown cold 
    And the love we had we'll never have again 
    But there's one ember left, it must have never died 
    'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye 
    There's one ember left, it must have never died 
    'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
