Verse 1:
G                  D
No matter how many times we've done this
          C                G
And we've done it so many times
   G               D
It never does get easier
          C               C
When it's time to say goodbye
      G                     D
And I wear your memory underneath my shirt
        C          D
Like an Indian tattoo
 Em                         Am
Crushed by conscience in a mental slide show
      D                    C
And I dream of kissing you


Pre-Chorus:
             G              Am        C      D
And it's the sweetest goodbye when I get home
            G         Am               C       D
We're gonna sleep all day just you and I
       G           D                C       F
And if you never left, you'd never know why
           D
You had to go in the first place
      C
And I picture your sweet face
Picture your sweet face
Picture your sweet


Chorus:
             G      C   D
The sweetest goodbye
             G      C   D  (D held twice as long)
The sweetest goodbye


Verse 2:
G                     D
Now there's two of you
       C                  G
That I find myself saying goodbye to
       G                  D             C                 F
And at night the three of us are in my head before I sleep
      G                 D
And I know we need the money
         C                  G
Though I hope it doesn't show
       G                D
Cause whatever I've got coming
         C                   F
Comes to me when we're alone


Pre-chorus
Chorus


Bridge:
C        D
..Every second
C        D
Of every minute
         Em
Of every hour of every day
       Am                             C
I'm thinking of the things that I can say
                                   C
To make you miss me when I go away
