[G]I'm singing this song its [C]time it was [G]sung
I been putting it off for a [D]while
But its [G]harder by [C]now cause the [G]truth is so [C]clear
That I [G]cry when I'm [D]seeing you [G]smile [D]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus}
So [G]goodbye so [C]long the [G]road calls me [C]dear
And your [G]tears cannot bind me [D]anymore
And [G]farewell to the [C]girl with the [G]sun in her [C]eyes
And I [G]kiss you and [D]then I'll be [G]gone [D]
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse}
[G]Everytime that I try to [C]tell you that [G]we've
Lost the magic that we had at the [D]start
I would [G]weep my [C]heart when I [G]look in your [C]eyes
And I [G]search once again for the [D]spark [G] [D]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus}
So [G]goodbye so [C]long the [G]road calls me [C]dear
And your [G]tears cannot bind me [D]anymore
And [G]farewell to the [C]girl with the [G]sun in her [C]eyes
And I [G]kiss you and [D]then I'll be [G]gone [D]
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse}
[G]I can see by your eyes its [C]time now to [G]go
So I'll leave you to cry in the [D]rain
Though I [G]held in my [C]hand the [G]key to all [C]joy
But honey my [G]heart was not [D]born to be [G]tamed [D]
{end_of_verse}
