The Civil Wars
[Verse 1: John Paul White]
B       E       B             E
You forgot your grandmother’s scarf
          B    C#m       E          B
As you walked away that day in the park
B             E          B         E
I watched you disappear into the city
C#m         E           B    E
Smaller and smaller you faded
B E
G#m     F#
That’s that
 
C# C# E E

Say goodbye and don’t look back
    F#        E   B   E   B
So long to happy ever after

You are my goodbye

Goodbye girl
 
 
[Verse 2: John Paul White with Joy Williams]
        B         E         B
I remember that look, the last one you
  E
gave me
    B         C#m   B             E
A kiss on my cheek as you were leaving
      B              E              B
The last thing you said was, “I’ll see
      E
you again”
    C#m       B       E
But we both know we won’t
B        E
 G#m     F#
That’s that
 
C# C# E E

    F#        E   B   E   B             So long to happy ever after
 F#           C#m
You are my goodbye
  E       B
Goodbye girl
B     E         F#      B
Never mind how long it lasted
B                C#m             B   E
You’re still the best thing that never
B
happened
F#           C#m
You are my goodbye
E         B
Goodbye girl

There is no use in
B     E
Chasing
 
C# C# E E

B      C#m        F#         B
Say goodbye and don’t look back

So long to happy ever after
