B                         Am  F G Am G F
This is the way I say goodbye


[Verse 1]
Am
I could fight on, weather the storm
         F                        Dm
Wipe the wind-driven rain from my eyes
Am
Fall to my knees, beg for release
        F                     Dm
Just succumb to the shadows inside
           Am
I'd rather make just like a comet tail
Am
Shed the skin and lift the veil
F                        Dm
Fling me out into the unknown
                G
But I won't go alone
G
I'm telling you


[Chorus]
Am
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
   F
Or maybe was never the question at all
G                  Am        G      F
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
                Em            Am   F Dm
And this is the way I say goodbye


[Verse 2]
Am
I could slam doors but much like the sword
       F                        Dm
I just fall on the words that I say
Am
I could shake hands, bring water to sand
        F                         Dm
But the seasons, they still never change
        Am
I don't feel the need to compromise
Am
Cross the Ts and dot the Is
F                       Dm
Fling me out into the unknown
            G
I won't go alone
G
I'm telling you


[Chorus]
Am
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
   F
Or maybe was never the question at all
G                  Am        G      F
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
                Em            Am
And this is the way I say goodbye


[Bridge]
G  F     Em Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Am
I don't feel the need to compromise
Am
Cross the Ts and dot the Is
Am
Fling me out into the unknown
           Em
I can't go on
N.C.
I'm telling you


[Chorus]
Am
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
   F
Or maybe was never the question at all
G                  Am        G      F
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
Em
I'm telling you, oh
Am
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
   F
Or maybe was never the question at all
G                  Am        G      F
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
                Em            Am
And this is the way I say goodbye


[Outro]
   F
Oh-oh, oh
G
Send me out alone
Am             G        F
Fling me out into the unknown
