Lonely Long Goodbye

Intro 
C 



[Verso 1]
 
C 
The dogwood started blooming 
                                   F                           C 
I've watched the afternoon shadows dance on every wall in this house 
C 
It's been three Februarys 
                               F                       C 
And nothing really changes but how the sun goes up and down 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
  F 
I get through days just fine 
    G7 
But all the nights go by 
 


[Refrão]
 
       C           Dm 
Like a long slow sigh 
  F                                       C 
I breathe you in and out of this heart of mine 
                       Dm 
Has every tear been cried? 
        F                         Am 
There's nothing left but time and watching it go by 
     F                  G7                     C 
Will I be letting go of you for the rest of my life? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
You might be the one I don't recover from 
   F                     C 
An ache I carry 'til I'm gone 
                                       Dm          C 
'Cause you keep sticking 'round in the attic of my mind 
F                                 C 
Dreams of you keep knocking at my door 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
        F 
There's nowhere I can hide 
     G 
Your memory's close behind 
 


[Refrão]
 
       C           Dm 
Like a long slow sigh 
  F                                       C 
I breathe you in and out of this heart of mine 
                       Dm 
Has every tear been cried? 
        F                         Am 
There's nothing left but time and watching it go by 
     F                  G7                     C 
Will I be letting go of you for the rest of my life? 
 


[Ponte]
 
       Dm7            C 
It's a dull knife twisting inside 
       Dm7             G7 
It's a lonely long goodbye
