The Long Goodbye

"the long goodbye" [ vers 1 ] G i know they say if you love somebody Em you should set them free ( so they say ) D but it sure is hard to do C G yeah , it sure is hard to do G and i know they say if they don’t come back again Em then it’s meant to be ( so they say ) D but those words ain’t pulling me through C cos i’m still in love with you F i spend each day here waiting for a miracle D# but it’s just you and me going through the mill A# ( climbin’ up a hill ) [ Chorus ] G this is the long goodbye Em somebody tell me why D two lovers in love can’t make it C just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart? G no matter how hard i try Em you’re gonna make me cry D come on , baby , it’s over , let’s face it C D G all that’s happening here is a long goodbye [ vers 2 ] G sometimes i ask my heart did we really Em give our love a chance ( just one more chance ) D and i know without a doubt C i turned it inside out G and if we walked away Em would make more sense ( only self defense ) D but it tears me up inside C just to think we still could try F how long must we keep riding on a carousel D# A# going round and round and never getting anywhere? ( on a wing and prayer ) [ Chorus ] G this is the long goodbye Em somebody tell me why D two lovers in love can’t make it C just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart? G no matter how hard i try Em you’re gonna make me cry D come on , baby , it’s over , let’s face it C D G all that’s happening here is the long goodbye [ Chorus x2 ]
