verse 1 

         G 
Well, a goodbye never seems finished 
                 C             G 
Just like these songs that I write 
  Em                   C 
They hang aloft like stars in the night 
      Em              C 
But there's nothing there but the illusion of a light 
      D       C             Em 
And you, you could've been mine 
      G 
Your mother, she's an actress 
          C                  G 
And we're all putting on a play 
 Em                         C 
Here's some conviction, pretend that's all real 
  Em               C 
Try to ignore how sad it all feels 
       D          C                     Em 
Yes, try not to break her heart if you can 

 
         C 
Hold o-o-o-n 
                                Em 
To whatever you can until it's gone 
          C 
Carry o-o-o-n 
                                     D C G 
For none of us will be here for too lo-o-o-ng 

verse 2 
       G                               C                 G 
I'll try not to let the world and its darkness bring me down 
  Em                         C 
Think of the love and the beauty I found 
  Em                   C 
The simple things that I've left behind 
D           C          Em 
Oh the way he make me laugh 


               C 
But I hold o-o-o-n 
                              Em 
To whatever I can until it's gone 
               C 
I'll Carry o-o-o-n 
                                     D C    D C G 
For none of us will be here for too lo-ong lo-o-o-ng 

Bridge: E  F  E  F 

E                   F    E 
 We are a distant star 
                        F    E 
But darling, you're so far away 
                          F   E 
You were never meant to stay 
                F  E 
I reach out to see 
                           F   E 
If you're still here with me 
                   F         C 
Baby, we could've made it easy 
          G 
Couldn't we? 

Outro 
    G 
Now I will never know you 
              C               G 
You are just someone passing by 
    Em               C 
And it makes me sad to think about 
          Em              C 
All the stories and fates I'll be without 
        D                 
But I think I'm getting used to the silence now
