How Do You Say Goodbye

C       F       C


[Verse 1]

  C                  F  F                   C
How do you say goodbye? Will anybody teach me?
C                            Am     F                C
Cause the holy water’s gone dry     The cathedral is empty


[Chorus]

Am           F        C         G       F
If I could build a tower to heaven I would
Am       C      F       G        Am
Maybe build a ladder past the sky
Am                  F         F                 Am
Look God in the eyes         Try to change his mind
Am                  F     F                     C
Maybe he would let you    Come back with me tonight


[Verse 2]

   C                    F       F                      C
There’s pages on the floor      But the words are erasing
  C                     Am       F        F                C
I can barely hear the choir singing     And the melody is fading


[Chorus]

Am            F        C        G       F
If I could build a  tower to heaven I would
Am       C      F       G        Am
Maybe build a ladder past the sky
Am                  F         F                 Am
Look God in the eyes         Try to change his mind
Am                  F       F                  C
Maybe he would let you    Come back with me tonight


[Bridge]

   F                            C
What’s done is done             Amen
   F                            C               G
What’s done is done             Amen            Amen


[Chorus]

Am            F        C        G       F
If I could build a  tower to heaven I would
Am       C      F       G       Am
Maybe build a ladder past the sky
Am                  F         F                 Am
Look God in the eyes         Try to change his mind
Am                  F       F                   C
Maybe he would let you    Come back with me tonight
F                 C
Come back with me
F               C
Come back to me
F               C
Come back to me


[Outro]

  C                  F  F                   C
How do you say goodbye? Will anybody teach me?
