So Long

[Intro]
Am   G Am
Am   G Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Am
I cannot hide my cards, dear
      G              Am
Can't even keep them close
     Am
I've seen how swiftly thoughts can
G            Dm
Collect into ghosts
     Bm         E7           Am
When you should fear them most
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm         C
I am not a coward
F             E7
I am just afraid
   F             G
Of how our new tomorrow
     E7            Am
Will turn to yesterday
 
 
[Chorus]
C  G    F    E7
So long,  so long
    E            Am
You know I understand
C  G    F    E7
So long,  so long
     E              Dm
I'll see you when I can
       Am
When I can
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Am
Well, you and I spoke last night
   G             Am
As I lay next to him
    Am
You told me if you followed
G           Dm
Every paper whim
Bm       E7          Am
You'd be wearing thin
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  Dm             C
I woke up with a longing
F                  E7
For just that mistake
F                G
  Your ghost was calling
      E7              Am
I was just beyond the break
 
 
[Chorus]
C  G    F    E7
So long,  so long
    E            Am
You know I understand
C  G    F    E7
So long,  so long
     E              Dm
I'll see you when I can
       Am
When I can
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am    G Am
Am Dm G Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
    Am
I'd like to tell you now dear
   G            Am
To pry open the door
    Am
I'd appeal to your body
   G              Dm
To take me on the floor
   Bm    E7        Am
To ask a ghost for more
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm            C
The glorious will always
   F               E7
Be just around the bend
    F              G
But I can't ask to borrow
     E7              Am
What I can't bear to lend
 
 
[Chorus]
C  G    F    E7
So long,  so long
    E            Am
You know I understand
C  G    F    E7
So long,  so long
     E              Dm
I'll see you when I can
       Am
When I can
 
 
[Outro]
Am
