theres something wrong with a goodbye
F# E
in the middle of the day
B/F# E F# F#sus F#
so pretend I am still sitting at your side
E G#m
and if you want to talk about all the differences

between the shackle and the man
E G#m F#

on the day they let you out
B/F# E F# F#sus F#
for the thousand ways they ask if you're okay
B/F# G#m
because whatever answer that you give
F# E
it’s only gonna play into their doubts
B/F# E F# F#sus F#
and be just half of what’s behind each word you say

when what is wrong and what is right
F# E
seem more like just the ocean and the ship
B/F# E F# F#sus F#
and the straight line that you've followed here is gone
E G#m
and if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up
F# F#sus
each time you spread your wings
E G#m F#
