Verse 1:

  You should have known
that you'd be here again
Making the same mistakes
For the same reasons

  Not everyone deserves
a second chance
            
Why are you so in love
           
with bittersweet romance?


Refrain:

  It's alright

  It's ok

  I'll still be here
                    
when all of this is over


Chorus 1:

  So long

  Goodbye

  Now just fall asleep
To this lullaby

  That i'll sing to

  To you every night

  I know your world's a mess
    
but everything will be alright

Verse 2:

  I should have known that
you'd be here again
       
Why do broken hearts
           
hold on to broken friends?

  Not everything that's
good was meant to last
          
But if it never was
         
it never had a chance
                       
(you never had a chance)


(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)


Bridge:

  I know your world's a mess
    
but everything will be alright

  (now just close your eyes
and kiss them all goodbye)

  I know your world's a mess
    
but everything will be alright

  (so just close your eyes
G5                    (Repeat Intro)
  just close your eyes)


(Repeat chorus 1)


Chorus 2:

  So long

  Goodbye

  Now just fall asleep
Like you do every night

  And when you wake up

  I'll still be by your side

  I know your world's a mess
    
but everything will be alright

  I know your world's a mess
                            (hold)
but everything will be alright
