[Verse 1]
C#m           A                  E           B 
 You held my hand and then you slipped away
C#m         A              E         B    
 And I may never see your face again
C#m          A                 E            B       
 So tell me how do to fill the emptiness inside
         Asus2         Bsus4   B          
Without love, what is life?
C#m     A                E           B   
 And anyone who knew us both can see
C#m         A               E         B   
 We always were the better part of me
C#m       A         E           B    
 I never wanted to be this free
          Asus2             Bsus4   B        
All this pain, does it go away?

        
[Chorus]
F#m7         E/G#         Asus2    B           
 Then every time I turn around
C#m          B             A       
 And you're nowhere to be found
    B           A          E      B    
I know I got a long, long way to go
   G#m                A   C#m   B      
Before I can say goodbye to    you
  G#m        A          C#m    B       
Oh, I got a long, long way I know
   G#m                F#m7               A   B         
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
    C#m    A     E     B       
To you 
    C#m    A     E     Bsus4   B
To you

         
[Verse 2]
C#m        A               E           B   
 From memory, there is no hiding place
C#m          A                  E      B 
 Turn on the TV and I see you there
C#m         A                   E                     B   
 In every crowd there's always someone with your face
       Asus2               Bsus4    B        
Everywhere, trying not to care

        
[Chorus]
F#m7         E/G#         Asus2    B           
 Then every time I turn around
C#m          B             A       
 And you're nowhere to be found
    B           A          E      B    
I know I got a long, long way to go
   G#m                A   C#m   B      
Before I can say goodbye to    you
  G#m        A          C#m    B       
Oh, I got a long, long way I know
   G#m                F#m7               A    B         
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

         
[Bridge]
    F#m7           C#m              
To you, I wish you everything
    B                  G#m              
And all the best that life can bring
  A               C#m            B            
I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
   A               C#m                
And even though I feel the pain
B                    G#m         
 I know that I will love again
     F#m7                   A         B        
The time will come, oh, and I'll move on

       
[Chorus]
         A          E      B   
I got a long, long way to go
   G#m                A   C#m   B    
Before I can say goodbye to    you
             A          C#m    B                           
Oh, I got a long, long way I know (Got a long way to go)
   G#m                F#m7                             
Before I can say goodbye (Before I say goodbye)
                A   B                   
To all I ever knew   (To all I ever knew)
         A          E      B                                 
I got a long, long way to go (I got a long, long way to go)
   G#m                A   C#m  B                      
Before I can say goodbye to   you (Before I say)
            G#m            
Say goodbye, say goodbye
             A          C#m    B        
Oh, I got a long, long way I know
                      F#m7               A     
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew (Girl, I wish you the best I know)
                   B
Oh and all of the rest, to you                                                                
         A          E      B   
I got a long, long way to go
   G#m                A   C#m   B      
Before I can say goodbye to    you
