trilogy emerson lake & palmer

A F
i’ve tried to mend
A G
the love that ended
A G F
long ago although we still pretend
A Dm
our love is surely coming to an end
A E4 E
don’t waste the time you’ve got to love again

A F
we tried to lie
A G
but you and i
A G F
know better than to let each other lie
A Dm
the thought of lying to you makes me cry
A E4 E
counting up the time that’s passed us by

F G C Am C F
i’ve sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
F G C Am C F
and if it does i hope that you will understand
G A F
that i must leave in a while
A G
and though i smile
A G F
you know the smile is only there to hide
A Dm
what i’m really feeling deep inside
A E4 E
just a face where i can hang my pride

goodbye . . .
goodbye . . .

we’ll talk of places that we went
and times that we have spent
together penniless and free

you’ll see the day another way
