[Verse]
G G/F# Em C G
It's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
G G/F# Em C D7
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
G G/F# Em C G
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
G G/F# Em C D7
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
[Chorus]
Am D7 G G/F# Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am D7 G G/F# Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
Am D7 G G/F# Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Am D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Verse]
G G/F# Em C G
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
G G/F# Em C D7
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
G G/F# Em C G
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile
G G/F# Em C D7
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while
[Chorus]
Am D7 G G/F# Em
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am D7 G G/F# Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
Am D7 G G/F# Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Am D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Bridge]
Bm C G G/F# Em
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know
Am D7 G
Some who aren't familiar with my name,
Bm C G G/F# Em
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand
Am C D7
It’s anyone who listens to me sing
[Verse]
G G/F# Em C G
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame
G G/F# Em C D7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
G G/F# Em C G
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
G G/F# Em C D7
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
[Chorus]
Am D7 G G/F# Em
But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am D7 G G/F# Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
Am D7 G G/F# Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Am D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
