[Verse 1]
D
We kissed goodnight
D A
And we turn out the light
G D A
And we lay side by side in the dark
G A
And we're waiting for sleep or a spark
[Verse 2]
D
But the night's on the run
A D
And the spark does not come
G D A
And we quietly worry and wonder
G D A
And the silence is louder than thunder
G A D G A D
And it rings with the sound of goodbye
[Chorus]
D G A
It rings with the sound of goodbye
D G A
I can't even tell you just why
D G A D
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
G A D
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
[Verse 3]
D
We can talk of the weather
D A
We can talk of the news
G D A
We can talk of the talk of the town
G D A
There's another true love going down
[Verse 4]
D A D
We can talk about promises, talk about lies
G D A
But there's no use pointing our fingers
G D A
And the sound of "I love you" still lingers
G A D G A D
But it rings with the sound of goodbye
[Chorus]
D G A
It rings with the sound of goodbye
D G A
I can't even tell you just why
D G A D
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
G A D
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
[Segue]
F#m
Time is forever
B
But love is a fire
Em D Em
And one day is one degree colder
Em A7
And the clock's tickin' over your shoulder
D A D
And it ticks, and it ticks, and it ticks, and it ticks, and...
[Chorus]
D G A
It ticks with the sound of goodbye
D G A
I can't even tell you just why
D G A D
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
G A D
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
[Outro]
G A
Sound of goodbye
D G A
I can't even tell you just why
D G A D
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
G A D
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
