Lyrics

We did n’t make this for ev er;

we each got to go should our sep ’rate way.

And (Bm7)now, we’re stand good ing here help less, Just, re (G)look ing for some thing to say.

We’ve been to geth er a long time;

(E)we nev er thought it would (A)end.

We were al ways so (E7sus)close to each (E7)oth er; (G)you were al ways my friend.

And it’s (Em7)hard to say good bye, my love, (F#m7)hard to see you cry, my love; (Em7)hard to o pen up that door when (F#m7)you’re not sure what you’re go ing (Em7)for.

You know I’ll al ways (Em7)love you.

You know I’ll al ways (G)care.

(F#)And no (Bm)mat ter how far

I may (Gm6)go,

in my heart,

you’ll al ways be (G)there.

And it’s (Em7)hard to say good bye, my love, (F#m7)hard to see you cry, my love; (Em7)hard to o pen up that door when (F#m7)you’re not sure what you’re go ing for.

But (Em7)we’ve got to grow, (D)we’ve got to try, though it’s (G)hard, (D)so (Em7)hard, we (G)have to say good (D)We bye.

did n’t make for ev (Em7)er;

(E)but I will al ways love (D)you.

(D)We did n’t (G)make (D)for ev (Em7)er;

(E)but I will al ways love (D)you.

It’s so (G)hard.

(Em7)Ba by, it’s (E)so (Bb)hard.

It’s so (G)hard.

(Em7)Ba by, it’s (E)so (Bb)hard.

It’s hard.
