Intro:
G5 F5 D5 C5

Verse 1:
G5        F5
Claire said take care of yourself, she said
D5           C5
as she drove the nail into my head
G5           F5
I want everything and more, so much more
D5            C5
but for the moment I'll ignore the gore
G5             F5
And whatever happens on the way today,
D5              C5
it don't matter cause I'll still get paid

Chorus:
Bb5           C5
And there's no need for me to cry
D5            G5
I'll just have to say goodbye

Interlude:
G5 Bb5 A5 x2

Verse 2:
G5        F5
It was all a lie and now what she says today,
D5                    C5
"Some folks have all the luck: they just fade away."
G5                F5
So I'll beat my head against the wall
D5                  C5
And live in the hope that there's no second fall

Bb5           C5
And there's no need for me to cry

I'll just have to say goodbye

G5          F5
Old man winter all aflame, insane
D5             C5
Oh well, what the hell, at least we came
G5             F5
Now I've nothing to do but burn my turn
D5                  F5
and watch as the neighbors all have too much fun

Chorus:
Bb5          C5
And there's no need to even try
D5            G5
I'll just have to say goodbye
