 I’ll  say goodbye  to  love, No one ever  cared if I should live  or die
 Time  and time again  the chance for love  has passed me by
 And  all I know of love  is how to live  without it, I just  can’t seem to find
  (Em/ )
  it
 So I’ve made  my mind up  I must live my  life alone
 And though  its not the easy way I guess  I’ve always known.
 I’d say goodbye  to love
There  are no tomorrows  for this heart of  mine
Surely  time will  lose these bitter memories
 And Ill find that  there is someone to believe  in
   (Em/ )
 and to live for, something I could live for
 All the years  of useless  search h ave  finally reached an end
 Loneliness and  empty days  will be my only  friend
 From this day love  is forgotten, I’ll go  on as best  I can
 Verse 3 1st Solo up to
 What lies in  the future is  a mystery to  us all
 No one can predict  the wheel  of fortune  as it falls
There  may come a time when I  will see that I’ve been  wrong
 But for now this  is my song;  And it’s  goodbye to love
I’ll  say goodbye  to love.
