[Verse 1]
D# F#
See the sleep that rests upon
Fm G#
The quiet street we're standing on
D# F#
Is it time to go away?
Fm G#
Try again some other day?
[Chorus]
D# F# Fm G#
These are the words we use,
D# F# Fm G#
to say goodbye
D# F# Fm G#
These are the words we use,
D# F# Fm G#
to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
D# F#
Bones crack, curtains drawn
Fm G#
On my back and the sheet is gone
D# F#
Somewhere else I do not know
Fm G#
Time will tell and I will go
[Chorus]
D# F# Fm G#
These are the words we use,
D# F# Fm G#
to say goodbye
D# F# Fm G#
These are the words we use,
D# F# Fm G#
to say goodbye

A# G#
[Verse 3]
D# F#
I will wait, take a turn
Fm G#
Sort it out, let it burn
D# F#
Empty out empty drawer
Fm G#
In my pockets there's nothing more
[Outro]
D# F# Fm G#
These are the words we use,
D# F# Fm G#
to say goodbye
