[Ab] [Fm] [Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Db] [Fm]
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm] [Fm]
[Eb] [Ab]
I know they say if you love [Fm] somebody you should set them free
[Eb] But it sure is hard [Db] to do, sure [Ab] is hard to do
I know they say if you don't [Fm] come back again then it's meant to be
[Eb] Those words don't pull [Db] me through, I'm still in love [B] with you
[Abm] I spend each day here waiting [Ebm] for a miracle
But [E] [Dbm] it's just you and me [B] going through the mill, [Bbm] climbing up a hill
[Ab] This is a long [Eb] goodbye, [Fm] somebody tell [Bb] me [Eb] why
Two lovers in love can't make [Db] it
Just what [Ab] kind of love [Eb] keeps breaking [Ab] a heart?
No matter how hard I try, [Bb] I always make [Fm] you cry
[Eb] Come on baby it's over [Ab] let's face [Db] it
All that's [Eb] happening here is a [Ab] long goodbye
[Eb] [Cm] Sometimes [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
I ask my heart [Fm] did we really give our love a [Eb] chance
But I know without [Db] a doubt we [Eb] turned it [Ab] inside out
And if we walked away [Eb] would it make more [Fm] sense?
[Eb]
But it tears me up [Db] inside just to think we still [B] could try
[Abm] How long must we keep [Gb] running on a carousel?
[E] [Db] Going round and [B] round and never getting anywhere
[Bbm] On a wing and [Ab] prayer
This is a long [Fm] goodbye, somebody tell me [Eb] why
Two lovers in love can't [Db] make it
Just what [Bbm] kind of love [Ab] keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try, [Fm] I always make you [Eb] cry
Come on baby it's over let's [Db] face it
All that's [Eb] happening here is a long goodbye [Fm] Long [Ab] goodbye
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] [Fm]
