Intro:  |C |C |F |F (2x) 

C                        Am 
I'm gonna ask about your day 
                              Em      F 
You'll just smile and look away as you turn the hall light out 
C                  Am 
You'll ask me how was work 
                Em               F 
Put on an old T-shirt as you turn the covers down 

(Chorus) 
G        F                              G 
We both know that everything has changed 
                               Am         G              F 
But it all still looks the same from the outside looking in 
G        F                       G 
We both know it's never gonna last 
                         C              G/B             Am 
This ship is sinking fast, so we'll ride it down again 
             Dm        G 
And say good-night, because we just can't say goodbye 

Solo:  |C |C |F |F | x 2 

C                  Am                              Em 
We both memorize our lines, said it all a thousand times 
        F 
But the timing's always wrong 
C                        Am                                Em 
Just two bad actors in a play, don't know how to leave the stage 
      F 
As the house lights all come on 

(Chorus) 
G        F                              G 
We both know that everything has changed 
                               Am         G              F 
But it all still looks the same from the outside looking in 
G        F                       G 
We both know it's never gonna last 
                         C              G/B             Am 
This ship is sinking fast, so we'll ride it down again 
             Dm        G 
And say good-night, because we just can't say goodbye 

(Bridge) 
Em               F 
How many times do we go down 
        C                      F 
'Til we finally make it through 
Em                        F 
Oh, but something's got me chained and bound 
            C               G 
To throw it all away for you 
C                                   F 
So I'll spend one more sleepless night 
                            Em            F 
Pretend that everything's alright 'til the day begins again 

(Chorus) 
G        F                              G 
We both know that everything has changed 
                               Am         G              F 
But it all still looks the same from the outside looking in 
G        F                       G 
We both know it's never gonna last 
                         C              G/B             Am 
This ship is sinking fast, so we'll ride it down again 
             Dm        G 
And say good-night, because we just can't say goodbye 

(Tag) 
C              F          C       F 
Say goodnight, yea yeah yeah, 'cause just can't say goodbye 
        C      F                     C        F       C 
Say goodnight, just can't say goodbye, say goodnight
