Lyrics

[Intro]
| C D  | Bm C | -  C | D Bm |
| C -  | Em D | Bm C | - C  |
| D Bm | C  - |

[Verse 1]
C       D               Bm       C
 All my life, I read between the lines
            D              Bm  C
Held on too tight, you know  I tried
           D               Bm  C
But in the end, it left me paralyzed
             D        Bm       C
It's alright, goodbye,  goodbye
           D           Bm    C
Seems like yesterday I was a child
       D             Bm       C
Just a ripple in the folds of time
           D
I wish you well,
             Bm         C
I want to see  you smile
             D       Bm
It's alright, goodbye
C       Bm C
 Goodbye

[Chorus]
Em        D        Bm       C
  Goodbye, goodbye,  goodbye
Em            D            Bm           C
  I won't cry, I won't cry,  I won't cry
Em          D        Bm        C
  Lord knows how hard  we tried
Em        D        Bm       C
  Goodbye, goodbye,  goodbye

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
C              D                 Bm C
 So many things I want to say to you
        D                  Bm         C
So many sleepless nights I prayed for you
                 D               Bm C
My heart's an ashtray and I lost my mind
                     D        Bm    C
You bring the smokes, I've got  the time
                 D
I want to scream, I want to laugh,
       Bm       C
I want to close my eyes
              D                 Bm      C
I want to hide somewhere that's hard to find
             D                   Bm         C
Stop wasting time trying to shape  your life
             D       Bm
It's alright, goodbye
C        Bm        C
 Goodbye,  goodbye, goodbye

[Chorus]
Em        D        Bm       C
  Goodbye, goodbye,  goodbye
Em            D            Bm           C
  I won't cry, I won't cry,  I won't cry
Em          D        Bm        C
  Lord knows how hard  we tried
Em        D        Bm       C
  Goodbye, goodbye,  goodbye

[Interlude]
C          D                 Bm   C
 My pretty bird, my favorite lullaby
          D              Bm      C
How'd I become the thorn in your side?
         D                 Bm   C
All your laughter turned into a cry
             D       Bm
It's alright, goodbye
C        Bm         C
 Goodbye,  goodbye, goodbye

[Chorus]
Em        D        Bm       C
  Goodbye, goodbye,  goodbye
Em            D            Bm           C
  I won't cry, I won't cry,  I won't cry
Em          D        Bm        C
  Lord knows how hard  we tried
Em             D
  It's alright, it's alright,
Bm            C
  it's alright
Em             D
  It's alright, it's alright,
Bm            C
  it's alright
Em        D        Bm       C
  Goodbye, goodbye,  goodbye
