C E Am x2
verse
[C]Your hands were[E] cold
Your voice was[Am] shaky
[C]One morning not too[E] long ag[Am]o
[C]And at the [E]time I was only a [Am]child
[C]About to[E] lose my childlike[Am] mind
The way you [D]touched my hands
Like you[C] never[G] had [Am]before
It wasn't you[G] anymore [Am][G]
verse
[C]I called for my[E] brothers
I called for my[Am] sisters
[C]But there was nothing[E] left for them to [Am]do
And so I[D] watched from far away
As the [C]ambul[G]ances[Am] came
And started dressing for[G] school [Am] [G]
chorus
[C]Good [G]bye [Dm]sweet [Am]mother [G]earth
[C]With [G]out you[Dm] now I'm a[Am] Lonely [G]Universe
You won't[D] always understand
When you'[C]ve trul[G]y loved so[Am]meone
Until after they'[G]ve gone [Am] [G]
verse
[C]This time of [E]year the nights [Am]fall longer
[C]So grow a spine or [E]catch [Am]cold
[C]The winter[E] months they do make you fee[Am]l stronger
[C]But in the [E]end it's all getting[Am] old
And you won't[D] always be walking the[C] saf[G]est [Am]streets
But you can find your way[G] home [Am][G]
verse
[C]If [G]you have [Dm]imag[Am]ined your way [G]back
[C]Then[G] my dear you'[Dm]re more t[Am]han halfwa[G]y there
And you might[D] only possess
What you've[C] carried[G] on your[Am] back
But you've always been [G]free
Now it's[Am] time to b[G]elieve
verse
[C]Time to[G] give up tha[Dm]t unforgiving ac[Am]t of altogether[G]ness
And st[C]art l[G]iving out you[Dm]r oldest[Am] childhood [G]dreams
Well, [C]losing your[G] minds it ain[Dm]'t half [Am]as bad as [G]it seems
And if you[D] would take the risk
Well, it[C] might be[G] worth your[Am] time
It's only your [G]life
It's[Am] only going[G] by
chorus
[C]Good[G]bye [Dm]sweet[Am] mother [G]earth

You won?[D]?t always understand
