Introduction:

F#m  
Verse (0:07)
F#m  
It's not that I don't love you
Or are tired of your ways
                                        E  
I want you to know
                  F#m  
That's I'm always thinking of you
You know I'd take you with me
                             E  
Wherever I go
Verse (0:36)
                  F#m  
But I catch myself in the mirror
                                                                                                                          E  
And I remember I gotta do something about my life
                          F#m  
For I'm as empty as the clothes that I laid
                                                                                          E  
Crumpled where they fell to the floor
Verse (1:04)
                     F#m  
I'm as empty as the ten green bottles
                                                                                                E  
Hanging in my mind from the night before
                  F#m  
And an ashtray full of moments
                                                                                                                          E  
Spent thinking about the things I should have done
Chorus (1:30)
                                                                     F#m  
I say goodbye to another old friend
                                                                                             E  
Yeah they stayed through thick and thin
                                                                                F#m  
Through the laughter and the tears
                                                                                E  
Through every state that I've been in
                                                                          F#m  
And I know they don't wanna hurt me
                                                                        E  
But I can see it in their eyes
                                                                  F#m  
That they're killing me so gently
                                                        E  
How can I ever say goodbye
Verse (2:26)
                     F#m  
For as young me we clattered through these streets
                                                                        E  
And how we hit this town running
          F#m  
And we were so sure of being us
                                                                                                                     E  
We flattened everything that stood in our path
                F#m  
Now I wake up and I have to find myself
                                                                                                                        E  
Through all the shit that once told me who I was
Chorus (3:04)
                                                                  F#m  
I say goodbye to so many old friends
                                                                     E  
Here I left them to the wind
                                                                                  F#m  
And there ain't much point in chasing
                                                                                             E  
The things you can never get back again
                                                                                  F#m  
But there's still some life in this one
                                                                             E  
Give me a match and I'll reminisce
                                                                  F#m  
Of a time when we were younger
                                                                                        E  
And we were stealing our first crack
Verse (3:58)
                                                                                  F#m  
And our thoughts had turned to dying
                                                                          E  
And we were unaware at the time
                                                                                F#m  
That this ride it could ever fall...
                                                                             E  
Could ever slow down to this time...
Verse (4:24)
                                                                                                F#m  
For I've been drunk and stoned and feeling mellow
                                                                                        E  
And that's how I've been getting through
                                                                                  F#m  
Looking at the blurry shapes around me
                                                                        E  
Thinking I knew more than I knew
Verse (4:52)
                                                                        F#m  
And it's not that I don't love you
                                                        E  
Or are tired of your ways
                                                                  F#m  
If I could only take you with me
                                                                     E  
If I could only ease this pain
