Text

It's Emfive o'clk this Ammorning and the Fsun is on the Grise.

CThere's Emfrosting on the Amwindow pane n Fsorrow in ur G7eyes.

CThe Emstars are fading Amquietly, the Fnight is nearly Ggone,

CAnd Emso you Amturn away from me and Ftears begin to Gcome.

And it's goodFbye Gagain, I'm Csorry Emto be Amleaving you.

GoodFbye Gagain, as Cif you didn't C7know,

It's goodFbye Gagain, Cand I Emwish you Amcould tell me

Why Fdo we always fight when I haveG to go?

CIt seems Ema shameAm to leave you now, Fyour laceG is soft and warm.

CI long to Emlay me Amdown again and Fhold you in my Garms.

CI long toEm kiss theAm tears awayF, give you Gback the smile,

CBut otherEm voicesAm beckon me,F and for a Glittle while.

And it's goodFbye Gagain, I'm Csorry Emto be Amleaving you.

GoodFbye Gagain, as Cif you didn't C7know,

It's goodFbye Gagain, Cand I Emwish you Amcould tell me

Why Fdo we always fight when I haveG to go?

I have toAm go and see someF friends of Cmine, some that I Amdon't know,

And Fsome that aren't Gfamiliar with my Cname.

EmIt's Amsomething that'sF inside of me,C not Emhard to Amunderstand,

It'sF anyone who'll listen to me Gsing.

And it's goodFbye Gagain, I'm Csorry Emto be Amleaving you.

GoodFbye Gagain, as Cif you didn't C7know,

It's goodFbye Gagain, Cand I Emwish you Amcould tell me

Why Fdo we always fight when I haveG to go?

CAnd if Emyour hours Amare empty Fnow, who Gam I to blame?

CYou think Emif I wereAm always here,F our love would G7be the same.

CAs it Emis the Amtime we have is Fworth the time Galone

CLying Emby yourAm side, the Fgreatest peace I'veG ever known.

And it's goodFbye Gagain, I'm Csorry Emto be Amleaving you.

GoodFbye Gagain, as Cif you didn't C7know,

It's goodFbye Gagain, Cand I Emwish you Amcould tell me

Why Fdo we always fight when I haveG to go?
