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

E                               E6 E
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
