{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
{section: Verse 1}
 (
 [Gm])
 [Bb]   You build it up and tear it down,

 [Gm]   there's no reason to follow you.

 [Bb]   You left the song without a sound,

 [Gm]   you left the story I made for you.

 [Eb]   Softly angels go and cry,

 [F]   in the stillness of the night.

{section: Chorus}
 [Bb]   Never is[Eb] a long time, goodbye.

 [Cm]   No ans[Gm]wers for [F]the asking.

 [Bb]   It's a l[Eb]ong time, goodbye.

 [Cm]   No m[Bb]ercy for [F]the aching.

 [Bb]   It's a [Eb]long time, Oh my.

 [Cm]   See no [Bb]light of [F]love forsaken.

 [Bb]   Never is[Eb] a long time, goodbye.

 [Cm]   Let's sp[Gm]end the night,

 [F]   when this dream has come[Bb] to an end.

{section: Verse 2}
    Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.

 [Gm]   And yes I cried over you.

 [Bb]   You left me blind in paradise,

 [Gm]   you left me hungry for the touch of you.

 [Eb]   Snow white angels run and hide,

 [F]   in the blackness of the night.

{section: Chorus}
 [Bb]   Never is[Eb] a long time, goodbye.

 [Cm]       [Gm]
 [F]          {never is

    No answers for the asking.

 [Bb]   It's a l[Eb]ong time, goodbye.

 [Cm]     [Bb]
 [F]            {never is
 [A] long time}
    No mercy for the aching.

 [Bb]   It's a [Eb]long time, Oh my.

 [Cm]        [Bb]
 [F]     {never is
 [A] long time}
    See no light of love forsaken.

 [Bb]   Never is[Eb] a long time, goodbye.

 [F]   when this dream has come[Bb] to an end.

    Never is a long time.

    Never is a long time.
