From the album Odessa

Intro:
G5G5 F5F5 D5D5 C5C5

Verse 1:
G5G5        F5F5
Claire said take care of yourself, she said
D5D5           C5C5
as she drove the nail into my head
G5G5           F5F5
I want everything and more, so much more
D5D5            C5C5
but for the moment I'll ignore the gore
G5G5             F5F5
And whatever happens on the way today,
D5D5              C5C5
it don't matter cause I'll still get paid

Chorus:
Bb5Bb5           C5C5
And there's no need for me to cry
D5D5            G5G5
I'll just have to say goodbye

Interlude:
G5G5 Bb5Bb5 A5A5 x2

Verse 2:
G5G5        F5F5
It was all a lie and now what she says today,
D5D5                    C5C5
"Some folks have all the luck: they just fade away."
G5G5                F5F5
So I'll beat my head against the wall
D5D5                  C5C5
And live in the hope that there's no second fall

Chorus:
Bb5Bb5           C5C5
And there's no need for me to cry
D5D5            G5G5
I'll just have to say goodbye

Verse 3:
G5G5          F5F5
Old man winter all aflame, insane
D5D5             C5C5
Oh well, what the hell, at least we came
G5G5             F5F5
Now I've nothing to do but burn my turn
D5D5                  F5F5
and watch as the neighbors all have too much fun

Chorus:
Bb5Bb5          C5C5
And there's no need to even try
D5D5            G5G5
I'll just have to say goodbye
