Fare Thee Well

How [Am]many years have been gone – since w[F]e have seen last time
It [Am]must have been in another life – when [F]I thought you were mine
We w[C]ere so free, we were beautiful – I s[G]ang it in all my songs
Everyt[Am]hing we did was all the best – we were r[F]ockin’ and rollin’ [Am]on

I keep a picture in my foto-box – its colours has faded to Grey
We stood there over the roofs of Rome – on an evening in May
Back home again the wind began to change – all the good things fell apart
You made new planes and searched new ways – and you left me with a broken
   heart

The t[C]imes have changed, you’re another one.
T[G]here is nothing that could be done.
So [Am]let me pay the final bill
And s[E]ay forever “Fare thee [E7]well”
The t[C]imes have changed you’re another one
T[G]here is nothing that could be done
So [Am]let me pay the final bill
     [E]           Break                [Am]
And say forever –         “Fare thee well”

I met you in the second class – of the night-express to Rome
A laptop stood in front of you – next to it your phone
You said “Time is money and time is cash. – The big wheel is turning around!”
Then you lightened another cigarette – and the train made his grumblin’ sound

Now we’re sitting here in this station-bar – the neon-light’s shining too
   bright
There’s nothing left for us to say – we’re staring out in the night
“Do I still figure in your life?” – there’s no need that the question is
   asked
the answer is easy, there’s no doubt – it is hidden behind your mask.

[Ending]  [Am]
