(Intro)

F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7 F#m7 G#m7 E6

E E6 E

In this world of lost horizons

Where your dreams burn fast

F#m7

But your nights go slower

G#m

Ever find that you're compromising

C#m7 G#m7

All your hopes and fears

A/B

Just to get to know her

F#m G#m A

So you take a walk down the goodbye highway

F#m7

The hello goodbye way

G#m A/B

It's a long long road

F#m G#m A

Ever take a stroll down the goodbye highway

F#m7

The some other time way

G#m A/B

Try to ease your load

(Riff/Solo)

E E6 E

She was never one for social graces

And hangin' out with the midnight faces

F#m7

Wore me out

G#m

I guess the thoughts of the nights alone

C#m7 G#m7

Or the time waiting for the telephone

A/B

Removed the doubt

F#m G#m A

So we took a ride down the goodbye highway

F#m7

The hello goodbye way

G#m A/B

It's the longest road

F#m G#m A

Soon you're fighting over the yours or my way

F#m7

The do or die way's

G#m A/B

The only way you know

C#m7

So you stand up for the things that you're losing

G#m

Out on but it's all so confusing

F#m E (single notes E D# B)

You hold on but it slips right through your hands

C#m7

Guess it's so long with a change of direction

G#m

Goodbye gotta make my connection

F#m A/B

Solo, as you head on out the door, forever more

(Riff/Solo - repeated twice)

F#m G#m A

So you take a walk down the goodbye highway

F#m7

The hello goodbye way

G#m A/B

It's a one way road

F#m G#m A

Ever find yourself down the goodbye highway

F#m7

The some other time way

G#m A/B

Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go

(Riff/Solo)
