Intro: E Dbm B A E Dbm B A
E
I know they say if you love somebody
Dbm
You should set them free (so they say)
B
But it sure is hard to do
A E
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
E
And I know they say if they don't come back again
Dbm
Then it's meant to be ( so they say)
B
But those words don?t pull me through
A
Cos I'm still in love with you
D
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
C
But it's just you and me going through the mill
G
(climbin' up a hill)
Chorus
E
This is the long goodbye
Dbm
Somebody tell me why
B
Two lovers in love can't make it
A
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
E
No matter how hard I try
Dbm
You're gonna make me cry
B
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
A B E
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
E
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Dbm
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
B
and I know without a doubt
A
I turned it inside out
E
And if we walked away
Dbm
would make more sense (only self defense)
B
But it tears me up inside
A
Just to think we still could try
D
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
C G
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
(on a wing and prayer)
Chorus
E
This is the long goodbye
Dbm
Somebody tell me why
B
Two lovers in love can't make it
A
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
E
No matter how hard I try
Dbm
You're gonna make me cry
B
Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it
A B E
All that's happening here is the long goodbye
