Ab   Fm   Eb   Db   Ab   Fm   Eb   Db
INTRO

Ab                              Fm
 I know they say if you love somebody you should set them free
Eb                     Db                  Ab                
 But it sure is hard to do, sure is hard to do.
                                 Fm
I know they say if it don't come back again then it's meant to be
Eb                         Db                                   B
 Those words don't pull me through, 'cos I'm still in love with you.
                                    F#
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle,
E                              B                          Bb
 But its just you and me going through the mill, climbing up a hill

Ab                       Fm                   
This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why,
Eb
 Two lovers in love can't make it? 
Db                                     Ab
 Just what kinda love keeps breaking a heart?
                         Fm
No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry
Eb
 Come on baby its over, lets face it
Db                    Eb             Ab
 All that's happening here is a long goodbye.

Ab                              Fm
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really give our love a chance?
Eb                    Db                         Ab
 But I know without a doubt, we turned it inside out.
                      Fm
And if we walked away, would it make more sense?
Eb                    Db                                B
 But it tears me up inside just to think we still could try.
                                   F#
How long must we keep running on a carousel?
E                                        B             Bb
 Going round and round and never getting anywhere on a wing and prayer.

Ab                     Fm
This is a long goodbye, somebody tell me why,
Eb
 Two lovers in love can't make it? 
Db                                     Ab
 Just what kinda love keeps breaking a heart?
                         Fm
No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry
Eb
 Come on baby its over, lets face it
Db                    Eb             Ab 
 All that's happening here is a long goodbye.
