Every time we say goodbye, I die a little

Why the gods above me, who must be in the know  
Gm             D7/13-   Fdim          A7  
Think so little of me they allow you to go  
D            Bm    D      Bm      D  Bm   E7     A7  
When youere near therees such an air of spring about it

I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

Therees no love song finer
