    F
For you
              A#m
It's all in a day
              Dm
One day in a life
              G
It's all in a one word
                    A#m
The one word is goodbye
     F
Goodbye

For me
It's all in what you say
You've tried to be kind
It's all in the words
From the lips that once touched mine with a sigh
Goodbye

For you
It's all in your face
The laugh and worry lines
It's all in the word
You hope will make you young again
Goodbye

A             Dm
It's all in the play
                  A#
Someone speaks the line
                G
It's all in the one word
                 F            C
That stops and steals the time

    Dm  A
Goodbye
    Dm  G
Goodbye
     F  C
Goodbye

For me
It's all in a day
It's the part in life
It's all in the word
To fate and circumstance resigned
Goodbye
