Verse 1:
      G    G           Em               C             G
It's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
        G        G      Em               Am7            D7
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
    G         G      Em           C               G
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
     G     G    Em                Am7             D7
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come

Chorus:
            Am7     D7      G     G     Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am7        D7  G         G      Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
         Am7    D7        G    G         Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
    Am7                               D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go

Verse 2:
G          G        Em                 C                 G
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
  G       G      Em             Am7             D7
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
  G       G        Em         C                   G
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile
    G     G      Em             Am7           D7
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while

Chorus:
        Am7     D7      G     G     Em
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am7        D7  G         G      Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
         Am7    D7        G    G         Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
    Am7                               D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go

Bridge:
          Bm              C                G         G       Em
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know
Am7                D7            G
Some who aren't familiar with my name,
     Bm                 C              G       G     Em
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand
       Am7      C             D7
It’s anyone who listens to me sing

Verse 3:
G           G         Em         C           G
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame
    G        G      Em               Am7                D7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
G     G      Em            C                   G
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
    G     G       Em                 Am7             D7
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known

Chorus:
            Am7     D7          G     G     Em
But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am7        D7  G         G      Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
         Am7    D7        G    G         Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
    Am7                               D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
