verse 1 
           Em     C 
If we were ghosts 

                                       Em       C 
You could see inside of me, right into my soul 
             Em         C             D 
To see what makes me up but focus on the holes 
        Em                     C 
I'd be the world around myself 
                                   D 
Hopelessly spinning 'round you yeah 
        Em               F 
Turning every leaf and stone 

But that's not the way it goes 


Em         C           G 
I have to wait till I get to the other side 
Em        C     G 
Just to see you, just to see you 
Em         C           G 
I have to wait till I get to the other side 
                      Em        C 
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye 
Em   C   Em  C 
Goodbye 
Em   C 
Goodbye 

verse 2 
Em              C 
If we were ghosts 

Floating high above the world 
Em                   C 
Little would they know 

That to end is to begin 
                  D 
Least that's what I hope 
           Em               C 
That for a moment I could be 
                                  D 
Something a bit more complete yeah 
             Em                   F 
But we never keep what makes us whole 

But that's just the way it goes 


Em        C            G                   E 
I have to wait till I get to the other side 
        C       G 
Just to see you, just to see you 
Em        C            G 
I have to wait till I get to the other side 
                                Am 
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye 

Bridge 
        C                           Em 
I will miss with every breath I take 
              D                                A 
That shadows sadness flows through everything 
              C                           F      Em 
That shadows sadness flows through everything 


Em         C           G                 Em 
I have to wait till I get to the other side 
          C       G 
Just to see you, just to see you 
Em         C          G 
I have to wait till I get to the other side 
                                Em     C 
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye 

  Em     C    Em   C 
Goodbye 
  Em     C    Em   C 
Goodbye 
  Em     C    Em   C 
Goodbye 
  Em     C    Em   C 
Goodbye
