so long

key: Bb120 bpmcapo 3
Bb
I am very lazy, the entire song just goes through these four chords in the exact same cadence!
CGEmD
Thought about what I could say to you
I grieved for every poetic point of view
I'm clutching my tokens, my greys and blues
and it all boils down to so very few
So long babe, I'm sorry, can't be an after though no,
Only in your days when things go wrong, you may need me but I need to be gone
Why you always drag me to a place like this?
Rehearse the same lines so repetitive
I tell you I'm done with these games of yours
But you make believe like you never heard
So long babe can't keep you, can't afford to be a masochist too.
You love so long as we're both afriad, but just 'cause you hold me don't make it
ok.
We need to clear some distance, if we don't ya know that we will miss this
life we know screams at the sun, you may need me but I need to be gone.
But there's always a part of me, in you and you in me,
which lights a path between and shines on through
But I think I must reckon, why it seems I must always play second,
I fiddle with my guts to fit in your heart, I don't know where I end and you
start
Our love is consequential, so how come I'm never settled?
I'm crazy for your love in a terrible way, I'm always alone and I'm
never ok
So long babe, I'm sorry, I won't be an afterthought no.
The light in your eyes keeps me at bay, but black out these lights and I can
melt away
Don't blink now, don't miss this, I'm a redshift of increasing distance,
You can reach for me and scream at the sun but I'm telling you I'm
saying "so long"
I'm saying so long,
I'm saying so long,
I'm saying so long,
I'm saying so long.
