[Eb] [Ab]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Gm]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] All your life [Bb] you've waited [Cm] for love to come and [Gm] stay
And [Fm] now that I [Cm] have found you, [Ab] you must slip [Bb] away
I [Eb] know it's hard [Bb] believing [Cm] the words you've [Gm] heard before
[Fm] But darling you [Bb] must trust them just once more
[Eb] Baby goodbye [Gm]
doesn't mean [Ab] forever
[Bb]
Let me tell you [Eb] goodbye [Bb]
doesn't mean [Ab] we'll never be together again
[Bb] [Cm] If you wake up [Gm] and I'm not there, I [Ab] won't be long [Db] away
[Abm] But [Eb] the things you do, my [Cm] goodbye girl, [Eb] will bring me back to you
I [Ab]
[Bb] [Gm] [Eb] know you've [Gm] been taken, [Cm] afraid to hurt [Gm] again
[Fm] You fight the love [Eb] you feel for me [Ab] instead of giving [Bb] in
[Eb] I can wait [Bb] forever for [Cm] helping you [Gm] to see
[Fm] That I was meant [Gm] for you and you [Bb] for me
So remember [Eb] goodbye doesn't [Gm] mean [Ab] forever
[Bbm] Let [Bb] me tell you [Eb] goodbye we'll [Gm] [Ab] never be together again
[Bb] [Cm] Though we may be so [Gm] far apart, you [Ab] still will have my [Db] heart
So [Cm] forget your [Eb] past, [F] my goodbye girl, [Ab] cause now you're home [Eb] at last
[Ab]
[Eb] [D] [Eb]
