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! |
| C | G | Em | D | |||
| 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. |
