Intro: (G) (Em) (D) (C)
(G) I know they say if you love some(Em)body
You should set them free
(D) But it sure is hard to (C) do
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
(G) I know they say if they don't come (Em) back again
Then it's meant to be
(D) But those words don't pull me (C) through
Cos I'm still in love with (Bb) you
I spend each (Gm) day here waiting for a (F) miracle
(Eb) But it's just (Cm) you and me going (Bb) through the mill
Climbin' (Am) up a hill (D)
(G) This is the long goodbye
(Em) Somebody tell me why
(D) Two lovers in love can't make it
(C) Just what kind of love keeps breaking a (G) heart?
No matter how hard I try
(Em) I always make you cry
(D) Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
(C) All that's happening here is a long (G) goodbye (Em) (D) (C)
(G) Sometimes I ask my heart did we (Em) really
Give our love a chance
(D) And I know without a (C) doubt
I turned it inside out
(G) And if we walked away
Would it (Em) make more sense
(D) But it tears me up in(C)side
Just to think we still could (Bb) try
How long must (Gm) we keep riding on a (F) carousel
(Eb) Going round and (Cm) round and never getting (Bb) anywhere?
On a (Am) wing and prayer (D)
(G) This is the long goodbye
(Em) Somebody tell me why
(D) Two lovers in love can't make it

No matter how hard I try
(Em) I always make you cry
