A Long Goodbye

Am   C   G   F   Am

[Verse]
                             C
I've lost count of all the days
                              G    Am
I've been watching you forget
                      C
I felt tangled up and hopeless
                     G        F    Am
But it hasn't killed me yet

[Verse]
                      C
I've been trying to remember all your memories
      G                Am
But I can't pretend
                       C
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
         G                 F
But it's like you always said
          Am                          C
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
         G
But it's like you always said

[Chorus]
       Am       C
It's a long goodbye
   G        F
It ain't so bad
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G      F
Is like a breath

[Verse]
              Am
You've got to wrap yourself inside
        C
All the goodness that you've had
G
Wrap yourself inside
        F
All the goodness that you've had

[Chorus]
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G    F
It ain't the end

[Instrumental]
Am   C   G   F   Am

[Verse]
                                 C
I've seen you standing in a room
                        G            Am
Wondering what's inside your head
                   C
In a moment that existed in a time
            G            F    Am
That's long been spent

[Verse]
                          C
I'm gonna wrap my arms around the days
              G
That you and I have left
            Am                          C
'Cause it's hard to be a mother to my mother
         G                 F
But it's like you always said
          Am                          C
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
         G
But it's like you always said

[Chorus]
       Am       C
It's a long goodbye
   G        F
It ain't so bad
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G      F
Is like a breath

[Verse]
              Am
You've got to wrap yourself inside
        C
All the goodness that you've had
G
Wrap yourself inside
        F
All the goodness that you've had

[Chorus]
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G    F
It ain't the end

[Instrumental]
C  Am  G    F    C  Am  C  Am  G

[Chorus]
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G        F
It ain't so bad
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G      F
Is like a breath

[Verse]
              Am
You've got to wrap yourself inside
        C
All the goodness that you've had
G
Wrap yourself inside
        F
All the goodness that you've had

[Chorus]
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G    F
It ain't the end
  Am       C
A long goodbye
   G    F          Am
It ain't the end
