Goodbye - Drive-by Truckers

Tuning: D G C F A D Intro: E Verse: E These cities blur before me, a swirl of colors leaned against the sky E Gone so far away and I never really told you good bye A E I know it's kind of lame but sometimes things just turn out that way B A E We were the best of friends and I always thought that it would be that way E We started out with nothing, wild plans and big ideas and dreams A E You were quick to swing the hammer and always fast with some ingenious scheme A E Sometimes we argued violently but forged it out of bedrock into steel B A E Our foundations were so solid and our instincts based on something very real

A E I feel so damned nostalgic every time I think about those times A E I forget how it became that I wouldn't recognize you on the line A E I start to feel so guilty but goddamn it I swear to you I tried B A E To bridge between the distances before I left without saying good-bye [Solo] A E A E B A E Verse: E I have friends I met last weekend and friends I've had since I was eight A E Friends I've said goodbye to and friends who unexpectedly passed away A E And nothing is disposable; at least it's never been that way for me B A E Its not like you were an acquaintance that I could say never really meant anything to me A E No we were really great friends and I always thought that it would be that way A E Yet I wonder if I'd know you if the guy that I saw last walked in here today A E And I swear until I die, I never would have expected you and I B A E To grow so far apart and leave without ever saying good-bye A Goodbye E Goodbye A Goodbye E Goodbye B A Goodbye E
