Intro
G# B A#m C#
[Verse 1]
G# B
See the sleep that rests upon
A#m C#
The quiet street we're standing on
G# B
Is it time to go away?
A#m C#
Try again some other day?
[Chorus]
G# B A#m C#
These are the words we use,
G# B A#m C#
to say goodbye
G# B A#m C#
These are the words we use,
G# B A#m C#
to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
G# B
Bones crack, curtains drawn
A#m C#
On my back and the sheet is gone
G# B
Somewhere else I do not know
A#m C#
Time will tell and I will go
[Chorus]
G# B A#m C#
These are the words we use,
G# B A#m C#
to say goodbye
G# B A#m C#
These are the words we use,
G# B A#m C#
to say goodbye
[Bridge]
D# C#
(hammer the high e-string: G with the D, and G# with the C)
D# C#
[Verse 3]
G# B
I will wait, take a turn
A#m C#
Sort it out, let it burn
G# B
Empty out empty drawer
A#m C#
In my pockets there's nothing more
[Outro]
G# B A#m C#
These are the words we use,
G# B A#m C#
to say goodbye
