C#                G#         D#
I never meant to let you down
        C#              G#          D#
It's a hell of a road I led you down
         C#                        G#
And my heart's beating out of my chest
          D#            Fm
And your hand is in my hand
C#                        G#      D#
It's getting late, gotta get it out
C#            Fm       D#
It would be easier to lie
              C#               G#/C   D#
But I really hope that you'll see in time

Chorus:
           G#           D#/G
Sometimes loving means leaving
           Fm          D#
Sometimes people need healing
                  C#         G#/C
Sometimes there's no good way
            C#         D#
To make a wrong thing right
              G#             D#/G
Some things change with the seasons
               F#            C#
Sometimes the heart has its reasons
       C#                D#        G#
Yeah, sometimes what's good is goodbye

You probably think it was easy for me
Like you don't play the lead in all of my dreams
Like I don't wake up almost every day
With a tear-stained pillow case
But I'm not tryna make it all about me

Maybe I should have lied
'Cause, God, it just hurts on the other side

Chorus:
Sometimes loving means leaving
Sometimes people need healing
Sometimes there's no good way
To make a wrong thing right
Some things change with the seasons
Sometimes the heart has its reasons
Yeah, sometimes what's good is goodbye

          A#m
There's a universe
           Fm
Where this could've worked
      G#             D#
And I wish we were in it

'Cause all I know
Is I broke your heart
And I wish that I didn't

Chorus:
Sometimes loving means leaving
Sometimes people need healing
Sometimes there's no good way
To make a wrong thing right
Some things change with the seasons
Sometimes the heart has its reasons
Yeah, sometimes what's good is goodbye

Oh-oh
Sometimes what's good is goodbye
