Verse 1:

Dsus2                                  Dsus2/C#
  If you're reading this then I'm long gone
                                       Bmsus
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
                         Bmsus/A  G5
But instead I broke your heart of glass

Some things I guess you can't get
Dsus2
Back when we started, before the storm came
Dsus2/C#
I gave you "sometimes", you needed "always"
Bmsus                                Bmsus/A 
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
G5
Now I can give you the life you deserve


Chorus 1:

   Dsus2
So goodbye, love
              Asus4     A
Hang onto the long night
                      Bmsus
There's beauty in the sunrise
    G5                 Dsus2
And you will find that goodbye
                          A
Is the hardest thing that I could do
                     Bmsus        G5
After all the pain I put you through
                         Dsus2
It's the best that I can give
                    A           Dsus2
The best that I can give to you


Verse 2:

Dsus2                            Dsus2/C#   
  It's so hard to see it come to this
                                 Bmsus
When the truth is blinded by the wish
                           Bmsus/A     G5
Instead of bending, I just watched you break

And now it's too late
Dsus2
Back when we started, before the storm came
Dsus2/C#
I gave you "sometimes", you needed "always"
Bmsus                                Bmsus/A 
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
G5        A            Bmsus    A7
Now I can give you the life you deserve


Chorus 2:

   Dsus2
So goodbye, love
              A
Hang onto the long night
                      Bmsus
There's beauty in the sunrise
    G5                 Dsus2
And you will find that goodbye
                          A
Is the hardest thing that I could do
                     Bmsus        G5
After all the pain I put you through
                         Dsus2
It's the best that I can give
                    A           Dsus2
The best that I can give to yoooooou


Bridge:

Bmsus   G
     Oooooooooh
Bmsus                               Bmsus/A
We'll always have this after the broken
G5                                A
All that was given is not forgotten

                                       Bmsus
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
                         Bmsus/A  G5
