Standard tuning
CAPO 1st fret*
*In the video Emerson has a capo on the 2nd fret,
but I think he plays tuned down 1/2 step
D F#m
If you're reading this than I'm long gone
Bm
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
A G
But instead I broke your heart of glass
Some things I guess you can't get-
Pre-Chorus:
D
Back when we started, before the storm came
F#m
I gave you sometimes, you needed always
Bm
Thought we were fine but you saw it first
G
Now I can give you the life you deserve so-
Chorus:
D F#m
Goodbye love, hang on to the long night
Bm A
There's beauty in the sunrise and you will find that
D F#m
Goodbye is the hardest thing that I could do
Bm
But after all the pain I put you through
G A
It's the best thing I can give
D
The best thing I can give to you
(D) F#m
It's so hard to see it come to this
Bm
When the truth is blinded by the wish
A G
Instead of bending I just watched you break
(G)
And now it's too late
Pre-chorus:
D
Back when we started, before the storm came
F#m
I gave you sometimes, you needed always
Bm
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
G
Now I can give you the life you deserve so-
Chorus:
D F#m
Goodbye love, hang on to the long night
Bm A
There's beauty in the sunrise and you will find that
D F#m
Goodbye is the hardest thing that I could do
Bm G
But after all the pain I put you through
(G) A
It's the best thing I can give
The best thing I can give to you
Bridge: Bm G
(G throughout)
We'll always have this after the broken
(G throughout) A
When all that was given is not forgotten
Chorus:
D F#m
So goodbye love, hang on to the long night
Bm
There's beauty in the sunrise
D F#m
Goodbye is the hardest thing that I could do
Bm G
But after all the pain I put you through
(G) A
It's the best thing I can give
D
The best thing I can give to you
D F#m
If you're reading this then I'm long gone
Bm
Wish I had the strength to prove you wrong
