A F#m E
I know they say if you love somebody you should set them free
D A
But it sure is hard to do it sure is hard to do
F#m E
I know they say if you don't come back again then it's meant to be
D C
Those words don't pull me through cause I'm still in love with you
Am G
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
F Dm C B
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill climbin' up a hill
(chorus)
A F#m
This is the long goodbye somebody tell me why
E
Two lovers in love can't make it
D A
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
F#m
No matter how hard I try I always make you cry
E
Come on, baby, it's over let's face it
D E A F#m E D
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
A F#m E
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really give our love a chance
D A
But I know without a doubt we turned it inside out
F#m E
And if we walked away it would make more sense
D C
But it tears me up inside just to think we could still try
Am G
How long must we keep running on a carousel
F Dm C B
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere on a wing and prayer
(chorus)
