_ [G] _ _ _ They [C] say when you gain a lover, you [D] begin to lose a friend
[G] At the end of the beginnings, [C] the beginning of the end
They say the moment [E] that you're [F] born is when you start to die
And the first time that [G] we said hello began our last [C] goodbye
We _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] know each summer's coming [D] means that winter's waiting there
[G] And gold would not be precious if [C] we all had gold to spare
You only know how low is low [F] the first time that you fly
[C] And the first time that we said hello [B] began our last [C] goodbye
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] If I could live forever, [C] it is certain I could never
[G] Know another single sense [C] of supply
_ [Fm] That moment of our meeting, when our [C] hands first touched in greeting
[D] How [F#] I wanted to hold back [G] the hands of time
[Am] _ [C] When they begin the overture, [D] they start to end the show
[F#]
[G] When you said I'll never leave you, [C] then I knew that you would go
The sound of all our laughter [F] is now echoed in a sigh
[C] And the first time that we said hello [G] began our last [C] goodbye

[G#] When you said I'll never leave you, [C#] then I knew that you would go
The sound of all our laughter is [F#] now echoed in a sigh
[C#] And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye
And the first time that we said hello began [G#]
our last [C#] goodbye _
