Tom: Cm
Cm
There’s a long goodbye.
G7 Bb7 G7
And it happens everyday
Cm
when some passerby
Fm7
invites your eye
Bb7
to come her way.
Dm7
Even as she smiles
Dm7
a quick hello,
Dm7
you’ve let her go.
Cm
You’ve let the moment fly.
[Chorus 1]
Cm Fm7
Too late you’d turn your head,
Dm7 G7
you’d know you’ve said
Cm
the long goodbye.
[Verse 2]
G7 Bb7 G7
Can you recognise the theme –
Cm
on some other street
Fm7
two people meet
Bb7
as in a dream,
Dm7
running for a plane
Dm7
through the rain.
Dm7 Cm
If the heart is quicker than the eye,
Fm7
they could be lovers
G7 Cm
Until they die.
[Chorus 2]
Cm
It’s too late to try
Cm Fm7
when a missed hello
Dm7 G7 Cm
becomes the long goodbye.
