G#m                           B
You build it up and tear it down,
                      G#m
there's no reason to follow you.
                             B
You left the song without a sound,
                      G#m
you left the story I made for you.
                       E
Softly angels go and cry,
                         F#
in the stillness of the night.

Chorus:
                 B         E
Never is a long time, goodbye.
   C#m             F#
No answers for the asking.
             B         E
It's a long time, goodbye.
    C#m          F#
No mercy for the aching.
             B        E
It's a long time, Oh my.
        C#m              F#
See no light of love forsaken.
                 B         E
Never is a long time, goodbye.
       C#m
Let's spend the night,
      F#                       B
when this dream has come to an end.

B
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
                G#m
And yes I cried over you.
                      B
You left me blind in paradise,
                            G#m
you left me hungry for the touch of you.
                           E
Snow white angels run and hide,
                         F#
in the blackness of the night.

Chorus

F# B                 G#m
    Never is a long time.
F# B                 G#m
    Never is a long time.
