Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

2x

 I've spent all my life just carrying on

 And for every right thing I've done ten have been wrong

 And It's not that I'm bragging for the sake of a song

 But life looks much better in perspective

 And your eyes look at me from near and from far

Ten thousand miles and you're still where you are

Another brass rail in another old bar

 I'm better at dreaming than living

Chorus

 For every hello there's a thousand good byes

 And leaving is harder when I look in your eyes

 You've got to believe me I'm not telling lies

 That for every hello there's a thousand good byes

 The years slip away like the spring melts the snow

 And I'm older and wiser than you'll ever know

 And if you believe that then it's time I should go

 'Cause I'm just as confused and more twisted

 And things keep on changing for better or worse

 And rhymes just get harder with every new verse

 And to say that I love you sounds way too perverse

 'Cause I'm getting on that bus in the morning

Chorus

2x

I could give it all to you

But I can't control the things that I do

  And I don't know what to say

  'Cause the sun's coming up and I know I can't stay

Chorus

x2)

So goodbye

And goodbye

 Yeah goodbye
