Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]singin' this song,
it's [C]time it was sun[G]g
I've been puttin' it off for [D]a while
But it's [G]harder by [C]now,
'cause the [G]truth is so [C]clear
That I [G]cry when I'm [D]seein'
you smile
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
So good[G]bye, 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
Can I [G]kiss you and [D]then I'll be gone?
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Every [G]time that I tried to [C]tell you
That [G]we'd lost the magic
we had at [D]the start
I would [G]weep my [C]heart when
I [G]looked in your [C]eyes
And [G]I searched once again
[D]for the spark
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]So good[G]bye, 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 [G]the sun in her [C]eyes
Can I [G]kiss you and [D]then I'll be [G]gone?
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]
[C][G][C][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 5]
I can [G]see by your eyes,
it's [C]time now [G]to 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
Honey my [G]heart was not
[D]born to be tamed
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
So good[G]bye, 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
Can I [G]kiss you and [D]then I'll be gone?
[G]

[Verse 7]
[D]
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
Can [G]I kiss you and [D]then I'll be gone?
[G]

[Verse 8]
Can I kiss you and [D]then I'll be [G]gone?[D]
Can I [G]kiss you and [D]then I'll be gone?
[G]
