Tom:
E7 Fdim A9 A
I'll say good - bye to love;
D9 E7 A AM7
No one ever cared if I should live or die.
D9 E7 Fdim C#7 F#m
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by;
B7 A D9 Dm6 A AM7
And all I know of love is how to live without it --
C#7 F#m B7
I just can't seem to find it.
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 E7
So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone;
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 E7
And though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known
(E7) Fdim A9 A
I'd say good - bye to love.
D9 E7 A AM7
There are no for this heart of mine;
D9 E7 Fdim C#7 F#m
Surely time will lose these bitter memories and I'll
B7 A D9 Dm6 A AM7
Find that there is someone to believe in and to live for,
C#7 F#m B7
Something I could live for.
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 E7
All the years of useless search have fin'ly reached an end
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 E7
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
F#m AM7 D9 E7
E7sus4
From this day, love is forgotten -- I'll go on as best I can.
Instrumental Interlude: First 5 lines of verse
D D6 G G/E D D6 A
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 E7
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
C F Dm7 C Am G
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong,
C G G9 Dm7 C
But for now this is my song, and it's goodbye to love
G9 C
I'll say goodbye to love.
Instrumental Coda:
