G                G7              C                      Am  
Railroad station midnight trains lonely airports in the rain  
 
    G                                         D7  
And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes  
 
G                       G7  
It's the same old scene time after time  
 
C                       Am          G                 D7         G  
That's the trouble with all mankind somebody's always saying goodbye   
 
 
          G7                 C                    Am  
Taxi cabs leave in the night greyhound buses with red tail lights  
   
G                                    D7  
Someone's leaving and someone's left behind   
 
G                     G7  
Well I don't know how things got that way   
 
C               Am                  G                 D7         G    G7  
But every place you look these days somebody's always saying goodbye  
 
 
C  
Take two people like me and you  
   
G  
We could have made it we just quit too soon   
 
Em                        G               C            D7  
Oh the two of us we could have had it all if we'd only tried  
   
G                  G7  
But that's the way love is it seems   
 
C                    Am                G                 D7         G  C  
Just when you've got a real good thing somebody's always saying goodbye  
 
 
G                 D7         G  
Somebody's always saying goodbye
