1st VERSE:

A             D                     
Those times I waited for you seemed
F#          E
so long ago
A             D              
I wanted you far too much to 
F#              E
ever let you go
D                       E             
You know you never got bio beat it tudes(??)
D                    E
And I guess I could never stand to lose
D                   E               
It’s such a pity to say, 
              A  D  
goodbye to you
              F#  E
Goodbye to you-oo

2nd VERSE:

A                 D                      
Could I ever have loved someone like the 
F#             E
one I see in you
A                 D                         
I remember the good times baby now, 
  F#                E
and the bad times too
D              E
These last few weeks of holding on
D             E
The days are dull, the nights are long
D                     E             
Guess it’s better to say 
              A   D
goodbye to you
                F#  E
Goodbye to you-oo
              A  D  
Goodbye to you
               F#  E
Goodbye to you-oo

F#            D
Cause baby it’s over now
F#         D

F#           D

F#           D                     F#
My love for you’s just not the same
       Db            D
Oh my heart, oh my heart
      E                      F#
Oh my heart can’t stand the strain
       Db           D
And my love, and my love
        E                    F#
And my love won’t stand the pain
       Db            D
And my heart, and my heart
        E                     F#
And my heart can’t stand the strain
        Db           D
And my love, and my love
       E
And my lu-uh-uh-uh-ove…
