 (Gm)                            A# 
    You build it up and tear it down, 
                          Gm 
    there's no reason to follow you. 
                                 A# 
    You left the song without a sound, 
                          Gm 
    you left the story I made for you. 
                          Eb 
    Softly angels go and cry, 
                             F 
    in the stillness of the night.

    No mercy for the aching.

    It's a long time, Oh my. 
            Cm       A#      F 
    See no light for the forsaken.

    Never is a long time, goodbye. 
           Cm        Gm 
    Let's spend the night, 
          F                         A# 
    when this dream has come to an end. 
 
 
 Verse 2: 
 
    Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.

    And yes I cried over you. 
                          A# 
    You left me blind in paradise, 
                                Gm 
    you left me hungry for the touch of you. 
                               Eb 
    Snow white angels run and hide, 
                             F 
    in the blackness of the night.

    It's a long time, goodbye.
