C#m                     A         E 
Always leave before the lights go on 
G#m                    A 
Before the party ends, before we hit the dawn 
C#m                   A      E 
Always leave before tomorrow comes 
G#m                            A  
All the greatest loves are the unfinished ones 

E          G#m 
Goodnight, goodbye 
       A                             G#m 
By the time you turn around, I'll be gone 
I'll be gone (x2) 

C#m 

C#m                          A    E 
You're water color, you will wash away 
G#m                          A      
The spark will only fade the longer that it stays 
C#m                        A      E 
I've been looking for your silver lining 
G#m 
It's getting me nowhere 
A 
It's a waste of time 

E          G#m 
Goodnight, goodbye 
       A                             G#m 
By the time you turn around, I'll be gone 
I'll be gone (x2) 

F#m   E        G#m   F#m 
Don't send the searchlights 
       E    G#m        F#m 
You'll only waste your time, 
    E       G#m     F#m 
looking for what is gone 
       A 
What's gone 

E          G#m 
Goodnight, goodbye 
       A                             G#m 
By the time you turn around, I'll be gone 
I'll be gone (x4)
