or something similar in Em pentatonic

G Em

I know, I've been foolin' myself too long

Em C

Never right but always wrong

D G

Goodbye, baby, so long

G Em

You know, you never let this thing catch on,

Em C

You never let me be that strong,

D G

Goodbye, baby, so long

C

There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met,

Em

The leaves fell from the trees

C

You made a lot of promises I ain't seen yet

D

I ain't gonna ask you please

G Em

You know, none of us are gonna cry,

Em C

It wasn't even worth the try,

D G

So long, baby, goodbye

C

There was a cold wind blowin' on the night we met

Em

Windows were rolled up tight

C

We both asked for something we could never get

D

Now I'll do the thing that's right

G Em

We know, none of us are gonna cry

Em C

It wasn't even worth a try

D G

So long, baby, goodbye
