Unusual chord:
G/F# : 22|||3
G G/F# Em C G
It's five o-clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
G G/F# Em Am D7
There's frosting on the windows pane, and sorrow in your eyes
G G/F# Em C G
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
G G/F# Em Am D7
And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come
Am D7 G G/F# Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you,
Am D7 G G/F# Em Am D7
Goodbye again, cause if you didn't know, it's goodbye again
G G/F# Em Am D7
And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?
G G/F# Em C G
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
G G/F# Em Am D7
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
G G/F# Em C G
I long to kiss the tears away and bring you back your smile
G G/F# Em Am D7
But other voices beckon me for a little while.
Am D7 G G/F# Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you,
Am D7 G G/F# Em Am D7
Goodbye again, cause if you didn't know, it's goodbye again
G G/F# Em Am D7
And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?
Bm C G G/F# Em
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know
Am D7 G
and some who aren't familiar with my name
Bm C G G/F# Em
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand
Am D7
it's anyone who'll listen to me sing.
G G/F# Em C G
And if your hours are empty now who am I to blame
G G/F# Em Am D7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same
G G/F# Em C G
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
G G/F# Em Am D7
And lying by your side the greatest peace I've ever known.
Am D7 G G/F# Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you,
Am D7 G G/F# Em Am D7
Goodbye again, cause if you didn't know, it's goodbye again
G G/F# Em Am D7
And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go? (
