Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G][C]
[G]Say goodbye

[Verse 1]
to the old street
that never cared much for you anyway
And the different colored doorways
you thought would let you in one day
Good[C]bye to the old bus
stop frozen and waiting
[G]The weekend addition
has this town over-rated
You [D]You[C][G]
walk across
the baseball green
The grass has turned to straw
A flock of birds tries to fly away
from where you are
Good[C]bye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
I can't make you stay
[G]I can't spend another ten years
wishing you would any[D]way
[C]

[Verse 2]
How [G]the sky turns to fire
Against the [C]telephone wire
And even [Em]I'm getting tired of
[D]useless [C]de sires

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

[Verse 3]
[G]Everyday I take a bitter pill
It gets me on my way
For the little aches and pains
The ones I have from day to day
To [C]help me think a little less
about the things I miss
To [G]help me not to wonder how
I ended up like [D]this[C]
[G]Walk down to the railroad track
and ride a rusty train
With a million other faces I shoot
through the city veins
Good[C]bye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
You wanted to be free
And some[G]where beyond the bitter

[Interlude 2]
end is where I wanna be
[G][D][C]

[Verse 4]
How [G]the sky turns to fire
Against the [C]telephone wire
And even [Em]I'm getting tired
of [D]useless desires

[Interlude 3]
[C][G]
[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 5]
Say good[G]bye to the old building
that never tried to know your name
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
You won't be seeing me again
Good[C]bye to all the window
panes shining in the sun
Like [G]diamonds on a winter day

[Interlude 4]
Goodbye, goodbye to everyone
[G][D][C]

[Verse 6]
How [G]the sky turns to fire
Against the [C]telephone wire
It burns the [Em]last of the day down
And I'm the [D]last one
[C]hanging [G]around waiting
On a train track and the train
[C]never comes back
And even [Am]I'm g[Em]etting tired of
[D]useless [C]de sires

[Outro 1]
[C][G][C]
[Am][G][C]
[G]
