(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]Yeah, it sure is hard[G] to do
[G]And I know they say if they don't come back again
Then it's mean[Em]t 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]All that's happening here i[D]s a l[G]ong 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
I [C]turned it inside out
[G]And if we walked away
Would make more sense (only s[Em]elf defense)
[D]But it tears me up inside
Just to thi[C]nk we still could try
[F]How long must we keep riding on a carousel
[D#]Going round and round and never getting [A#]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]All that's happening here is [D]the lon[G]g goodbye
(Chorus x2)
[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]Yeah, it sure is hard[G] to do
[G]And I know they say if they don't come back again
