Lyrics

(F5)You and I were friends from out er space,

a fraid to let could go; see.

the on ly two who un der stood this place.

And as far as we to be.

we were way be (F5)fore our time,

as (Bbsus2)bold as we were blind.

Just an oth er (F5)per fect mis (Dm7)take,

an (Bbsus2)oth er bridge to (Gm)take on the (F)way to let ting go.

But this ain’t good bye; this is just (Gm7)where love goes

when words aren’t warm e nough

to keep a way the cold.

Oh, no, this ain’t good bye; it’s not (Gm7)where our sto ry ends.

But I know you can’t be mine,

not the (Gm7)way you’ve al ways been.

As (Dm7)long as (C)we’ve got time,

then this ain’t good bye.

Oh, no, this ain’t good bye.

(F5)We were stars up in the sun lit sky

that no one else could go; see.

the Nei ther of us thought to ev ask why

And it was n’t meant to be.

May be we were (F5)way too high

to (Bbsus2)ev er un der stand.

May be we were (F5)vic tims of (Dm7)all,

an (Bbsus2)all the fool ish (Gm)plans we be (F)gan to to di vide.

But this ain’t good bye; this is just (Gm7)where love goes

when words aren’t warm e nough

to keep a way the cold.

Oh, no, this ain’t good bye; it’s not (Gm7)where our sto ry ends.

But I know you can’t be mine,

not the (Gm7)way you’ve al ways been.

As (Dm7)long as (C)we’ve got time,

then this ain’t good bye.

Oh, no, this ain’t good bye.

this ain’t good bye.

Oh, no, this ain’t good bye.

Oh, oh.

Oh, no, this ain’t good bye.

No no no, no no no.

No no no no no no no.

No no no, this ain’t good bye.

(F5)You and I were friends from out er space,

a fraid to let go; the on ly two who un der stood this place.

And as (Bbsus2)far as we know,

this ain’t good bye.

Oh no, this ain’t good bye.

This ain’t good bye;

oh no, this ain’t good bye.

This ain’t good bye; Oh no, I’m sing ing: No no no, no no no.

No no no no no no no.

No no no, don’t say good bye.
