[Verse 1]
            F
There is no easy way to break somebody's heart
              Cm
When you know what you're gonna say will leave a mark
         G#
But I've tried, and I've tried, and I've tried
      A#
To no end
            F
This is the moment that you smile before you cry
               Cm
Feels like I'm aiming for your heart, ready to fire
     G#
Oh I wish it could be different, wish it could be different
    A#
But it'll only hurt you more


[Pre-Chorus]
     G#
If I say that things can change
       A#
I'd be leading you astray, yeah, yeah


[Chorus]
F                                   Cm
The stars in the sky are all burned out
                              G#
Nothing to guide us back home now
                                 A#
These are the words I've kept inside
                              F
Now this is the sound of goodbye
                                 Cm
Lost in the darkness, can't turn back
                             G#
Everything starts to fade to black
                            A#
How can the silence seem so loud?
                                A#
And all you can hear is the sound of goodbye


[Verse 2]
         F
I know I said that I would love you 'till I die (I die)
         Cm
That was then and this is now, that ain't no lie (no lie)
      G#                                             A#
But I can't keep on faking I'm constantly making you wait
              F
I don't wanna fight with you but I don't wanna fight for you
                         Cm
'Cause things just don't feel the same
     G#
Oh I wish it could be different, wish it could be different
    A#
But it'll only hurt you more


[Pre-Chorus]
     G#
If I say that things can change (Hey)
       A#
I'd be leading you astray, yeah yeah


[Chorus]
F                                   Cm
The stars in the sky are all burned out
                              G#
Nothing to guide us back home now
                                 A#
These are the words I've kept inside
                                F
Now this is the sound of goodbye
                                  Cm
Lost in the darkness, can't turn back
                              G#
Everything starts to fade to black
                            A#
How can the silence seem so loud?
                            A#
And all you can hear is the sound...


[Middle 8]
G#       A#           G#
Of goodbye, of goodbye
                                      A#
These words fall out my mouth and now nothing feels the same


[Chorus]
F                                   Cm
The stars in the sky are all burned out
                              G#
Nothing to guide us back home now
                                 A#
These are the words I've kept inside
                              F
Now this is the sound of goodbye
                                 Cm
Lost in the darkness, can't turn back
                             G#
Everything starts to fade to black
                            A#
How can the silence seem so loud?
                                A#
And all you can hear is the sound of goodbye
