Verse 1:
                  
No matter how many times we've done this
                          
And we've done it so many times
                  
It never does get easier
                         
When it's time to say goodbye
                           
And I wear your memory underneath my shirt
                  
Like an Indian tattoo
                          
Crushed by conscience in a mental slide show
                          
And I dream of kissing you


Pre-Chorus:
                                         
And it's the sweetest goodbye when I get home
                                           
We're gonna sleep all day just you and I
                                         
And if you never left, you'd never know why
           
You had to go in the first place
      
And I picture your sweet face
Picture your sweet face
Picture your sweet


Chorus:
                      
The sweetest goodbye
                        ( held twice as long)
The sweetest goodbye


Verse 2:
                     
Now there's two of you
                         
That I find myself saying goodbye to
                                                       
And at night the three of us are in my head before I sleep
                       
And I know we need the money
                           
Though I hope it doesn't show
                       
Cause whatever I've got coming
                            
Comes to me when we're alone


Pre-chorus
Chorus


Bridge:
        
..Every second
        
Of every minute
         
Of every hour of every day
                                    
I'm thinking of the things that I can say
                                   
To make you miss me when I go away


Pre-chorus
