D F#m
If you're reading this than I'm long gone
Bm
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
A G
But instead I broke your heart of glass
Some things I guess you can't get-
{Pre-Chorus}
D
Back when we started, before the storm came
F#m
I gave you sometimes, you needed always
Bm
Thought we were fine but you saw it first
G
Now I can give you the life you deserve so-
{Chorus}
D F#m
Goodbye love, hang on to the long night
Bm A
There's beauty in the sunrise and you will find that
D F#m
Goodbye is the hardest thing that I could do
Bm
But after all the pain I put you through
G A
It's the best thing I can give
D
The best thing I can give to you
(D) F#m
It's so hard to see it come to this
Bm
When the truth is blinded by the wish
A G
Instead of bending I just watched you break
(G)
And now it's too late
