The Long Goodbye Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Catc[G]h a star a[Em]s it falls
and [Bm]hold it in your [Em]hand
[G]Feel the[Em] heat, still it [Bm]burns
Searing embers of your [Em]glorious sun
[C]Oh, this is [Em]painful, this [C]endless aching [G]need
The [Bm]very thing I [C]long for is what
[G]brings me to my knees
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
You walked in [Em]to my world, won me over,
[Bm]caught me [D]so [Bm]off g[Em]uard[Bm]
[Em]But I gave in to the wonder,
to the poetry of our [Bm]souls [D]set[Bm] fire
[Em]And oh i[C]t was beau[Em]tiful,
[D]our[Em] tend[C]er hearts entwined[G][D]
[Bm]And I thought we could conquer[C] any
[G]mountains we would [D]climb

[Verse 3]
[G]And now I'm [Em]waiting on the [Bm]light
[G]To ease the [Em]fury of this [Bm]one desire
[C]I'm trying to be pa[Em]tient,
[D]I'm[Em] tryi[C]ng to stay high[G][D]
[Bm]I'm trying to find the wisdom[C]
[G]in this long good[D]bye

[Verse 4]
[G]Stop the[Em] world, stop the noise
[G]I've heard eno[Em]ugh,
my head [Bm]is s[Em]pinning 'r[G]ound[Bm]
[Em]Give me more than words to feed me[G]
Truth [Em]I can believe in, [Bm]give me solid ground
[Em]But our [C]days are measu[Em]red in[G]
[Em]fray[C]ing threads of gold[G][Bm]
Every day unrav[C]eling 'til
there's [G]nothing left to hold
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now I'm still [Em]waiting on the [Bm]light
[G]To ease the [Em]fury of this [Bm]losing fight
I'm [C]trying to for[Em]give [D]you,
[Em]to h[C]old my head up high[G][D]
[Bm]I'm trying to find the wis
[C]dom [G]in this long goodbye
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]I gave my love, gav[Em]e it all
But in the end,
it didn't change [Bm]a thi[Em]ng
You can't love [G]a man out [Em]of his fate
Can't tame a head and heart,
[Bm]so out of sy[A]nc[Bm]
[Em]But, oh, I[C] am [Em]gratefu[G]l this
[C]will not bring me [G]down[D]
[Bm]The tides are always gonna[C] turn
and come [G]on back [D]around[G]
[C]Oh, [Em]oh[Am][Em][Am][Em]
[D][C][D]
