Ronan Keating - The Long Goodbye

“the long goodbye”

[ vers 1 ]

G
i know they say if you love somebody
Em
you should set them free ( so they say )
D
but it sure is hard to do
C G
yeah , it sure is hard to do
G
and i know they say if they don’t come back again
Em
then it’s meant to be ( so they say )
D
but those words ain’t pulling me through
C
cos i’m still in love with you
F
i spend each day here waiting for a miracle
D#
but it’s just you and me going through the mill
A#
( climbin’ up a hill )

[ chorus ]
G
this is the long goodbye
Em
somebody tell me why
D
two lovers in love can’t make it
C
just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
G
no matter how hard i try
Em
you’re gonna make me cry
D
come on , baby , it’s over , let’s face it
C D G
all that’s happening here is a long goodbye

[ vers 2 ]

G
sometimes i ask my heart did we really
Em
give our love a chance ( just one more chance )
D
and i know without a doubt
C
i turned it inside out
G
and if we walked away
Em
would make more sense ( only self defense )
D
but it tears me up inside
C
just to think we still could try
F
how long must we keep riding on a carousel
D# A#
going round and round and never getting anywhere?
( on a wing and prayer )

[ chorus ]

G
this is the long goodbye
Em
somebody tell me why
D
two lovers in love can’t make it
C
just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
G
no matter how hard i try
Em
you’re gonna make me cry
D
come on , baby , it’s over , let’s face it
C D G
all that’s happening here is the long goodbye
