Verse 1:

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

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


Chorus 1:

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


Verse 2:

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

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

The best that I can give to yoooooou
