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
C
Goodbye to the old bus
stop frozen and waiting
G
The weekend addition
has this town over-rated
D
C
G
You You
walk across
the baseball green
The grass has turned to straw
A flock of birds tries to fly away
from where you are
C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
I can't make you stay
G
I can't spend another ten years
D
wishing you would anyway
C
Verse 2
G
How the sky turns to fire
C
Against the telephone wire
Em
And even I'm getting tired of
D
C
useless desires

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
C
To help me think a little less
about the things I miss
G
To help me not to wonder how
D
C
I ended up like this
G
Walk down to the railroad track
and ride a rusty train
With a million other faces I shoot
through the city veins
C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
You wanted to be free
G
And somewhere beyond the bitter
Interlude 2
end is where I wanna be

G
Say goodbye to the old building
that never tried to know your name
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
You won't be seeing me again

Goodbye to all the window
panes shining in the sun

Like diamonds on a winter day

How the sky turns to fire

It burns the last of the day down

hanging around waiting
On a train track and the train
C
never comes back
Am

And even I'm getting tired of
