E E6 E
In this world of lost horizons
Where your dreams burn fast
F#m7
But your nights go slower
G#m
Ever find that you're compromising
C#m7 G#m7
All your hopes and fears
A/B
Just to get to know her
F#m G#m A
So you take a walk down the goodbye highway
F#m7
The hello goodbye way
G#m A/B
It's a long long road
F#m G#m A
Ever take a stroll down the goodbye highway
F#m7
The some other time way
G#m A/B
Try to ease your load
(Riff/Solo)

She was never one for social graces
And hangin' out with the midnight faces
F#m7
Wore me out
G#m
I guess the thoughts of the nights alone
C#m7 G#m7
Or the time waiting for the telephone
A/B
Removed the doubt
F#m G#m A
So we took a ride down the goodbye highway
F#m7
The hello goodbye way
G#m A/B
It's the longest road
F#m G#m A
Soon you're fighting over the yours or my way
F#m7
The do or die way's
G#m A/B
The only way you know
C#m7
So you stand up for the things that you're losing
G#m
Out on but it's all so confusing
F#m E (single notes E D# B)
You hold on but it slips right through your hands
C#m7
Guess it's so long with a change of direction
G#m
Goodbye gotta make my connection
F#m A/B
Solo, as you head on out the door, forever more
(Riff/Solo - repeated twice)
F#m G#m A
So you take a walk down the goodbye highway
F#m7
The hello goodbye way
G#m A/B
It's a one way road
F#m G#m A
Ever find yourself down the goodbye highway
F#m7
The some other time way
G#m A/B
Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go
(Riff/Solo)
