G  A#  Am  C

[Verse 1]
G                   A#
See the sleep that rests upon
     Am                 C
The quiet street we're standing on
G           A#
Is it time to go away?
Am                C
Try again some other day?

[Chorus]
G              A#           Am    C     
These are the words we use, 
             G  A#  Am  C
to say goodbye
G              A#           Am    C     
These are the words we use, 
             G  A#  Am  C
to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
G             A#
Bones crack, curtains drawn
Am                  C
On my back and the sheet is gone
G              A#
Somewhere else I do not know
Am                   C
Time will tell and I will go

[Chorus]
G              A#           Am    C     
These are the words we use, 
             G  A#  Am  C
to say goodbye
G              A#           Am    C     
These are the words we use, 
             G  A#  Am  C
to say goodbye

[Bridge]
D          C
(hammer the high e-string: F# with the D, and G with the C)
D          C

[Verse 3]
G            A#
I will wait, take a turn
Am             C
Sort it out, let it burn
G          A#
Empty out empty drawer
Am                      C
In my pockets there's nothing more

[Outro]
G              A#           Am    C     
These are the words we use, 
             G  A#  Am  C
to say goodbye
