or something similar in Em pentatonic

G                                    Em
I know, I've been foolin' myself too long
Em                     C
Never right but always wrong
D                 G
Goodbye, baby, so long
G                                        Em
You know, you never let this thing catch on,
Em                       C
You never let me be that strong,
D                 G
Goodbye, baby, so long
C
There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met,
Em
The leaves fell from the trees
C
You made a lot of promises I ain't seen yet
D
I ain't gonna ask you please
G                              Em
You know, none of us are gonna cry,
Em                       C
It wasn't even worth the try,
D              G
So long, baby, goodbye
C
There was a cold wind blowin' on the night we met
Em
Windows were rolled up tight
C
We both asked for something we could never get
D
Now I'll do the thing that's right
G                             Em
We know, none of us are gonna cry
Em                     C
It wasn't even worth a try
D              G
So long, baby, goodbye
