E         B/D#   C#m           B
We both dressed as we thought fit
A            B           E
What do you wear to goodbyes?
The time would come for us both to sit
And near each other's lies

         C#m                 B
I don't feel like I've been holding back
  A                        B
Breaking up is hard on us both
       C#m              B
I feel so empty as you walk away
       A
These words have no meaning
         B
There's nothing to say

Chorus:
        E
So Goodbye
      B
Goodbye
       C#m
These words have no meaning
           A
When your heart set on leaving
Goodbye
Goodbye
Now there's nothing worth keeping
Nothing left to believe in
     E/G#                      A
And when think the fighting is over
                F#m
Then come the sleepless nights
               A
Of wanting to hold her

     E
Goodbye

I can barely remember the love
But I can still hear the fights
Standing in the hallway
Screaming the top of your voice
You know you were right
I don't feel like I've been holding back
It cuts like a knife but it still feels like life

Chorus:
So Goodbye, Goodbye
These words have no meaning
When your heart set on leaving
Goodbye, Goodbye
Now there's nothing worth keeping
Nothing left to believe in
And when think the fighting is over
Then come the sleepless nights
Of wanting to hold her

     C
Goodbye
     G
You said it wouldn't hurt
     D                        Am
But now say it's not getting better
     C
We tried
 G
So hard to make it work
    D                            B7
I thought that I'd be with you forever

Chorus:
Goodbye,
Goodbye
These words have no meaning
When your heart set on leaving
Goodbye,
Goodbye
Thought this might be worth saving
But I must be mistaken
Goodbye,
Goodbye
Now I'm ready to let you

           B     C#m
I see you leaving
           A
I start believing

I finally think the fight is over
No more sleepless nights
Of wanting to hold her
Goodbye
