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

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 3:
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
