I'm gonna ask about your day
You'll just smile and look away as you turn the hall light out
You'll ask me how was work
Put on an old T-shirt as you turn the covers down
(Chorus)
We both know that everything has changed
But it all still looks the same from the outside looking in
We both know it's never gonna last
This ship is sinking fast, so we'll ride it down again
And say good-night, because we just can't say goodbye
Solo: C C F F x 2
We both memorize our lines, said it all a thousand times
But the timing's always wrong
Just two bad actors in a play, don't know how to leave the stage
As the house lights all come on
(Chorus)
We both know that everything has changed
But it all still looks the same from the outside looking in
We both know it's never gonna last
This ship is sinking fast, so we'll ride it down again
And say good-night, because we just can't say goodbye
(Bridge)
How many times do we go down
'Til we finally make it through
Oh, but something's got me chained and bound
To throw it all away for you
So I'll spend one more sleepless night
Pretend that everything's alright 'til the day begins again
(Chorus)
We both know that everything has changed
But it all still looks the same from the outside looking in
We both know it's never gonna last
This ship is sinking fast, so we'll ride it down again
And say good-night, because we just can't say goodbye
(Tag)
Say goodnight, yea yeah yeah, 'cause just can't say goodbye
Say goodnight, just can't say goodbye, say goodnight
