Intro:
           2x

                                 
I've spent all my life just carrying on
                                               
And for every right thing I've done ten have been wrong
                                              
And It's not that I'm bragging for the sake of a song
                               
But life looks much better in perspective
                                         
And your eyes look at me from near and from far
                                          
Ten thousand miles and you're still where you are
                               
Another brass rail in another old bar
                          
I'm better at dreaming than living


Chorus:
                                     
For every hello there's a thousand good byes
                                       
And leaving is harder when I look in your eyes
                                      
You've got to believe me I'm not telling lies
                                          
That for every hello there's a thousand good byes

                  

                                          
The years slip away like the spring melts the snow
                                      
And I'm older and wiser than you'll ever know
                                            
And if you believe that then it's time I should go
                                            
'Cause I'm just as confused and more twisted
                                       
And things keep on changing for better or worse
                                       
And rhymes just get harder with every new verse
                                           
And to say that I love you sounds way too perverse
                                           
'Cause I'm getting on that bus in the morning

Chorus

          2x
         /

                  
  I could give it all to you
                                      
  But I can't control the things that I do
                   
  And I don't know what to say
                                         
  'Cause the sun's coming up and I know I can't stay

Chorus (x2)

So goodbye
And goodbye
          
Yeah goodbye
