      G    G/F#        Em               C             G 
It's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise 
        G        G/F#   Em               C              D7 
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes 
    G         G/F#   Em           C               G 
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone 
     G     G/F# Em                C              D7 
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
[Refrain]
            Am      D7      G     G/F#  Em 
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you 
Am         D7  G         G/F#   Em 
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know 
         Am     D7        G    G/F#      Em 
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
    Am                                D7 
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Strophe]
G          G/F#     Em                 C                 G 
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm 
  G       G/F#   Em             C              D7 
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms 
  G       G/F#     Em         C                   G 
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile 
    G     G/F#   Em             C            D7 
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while
[Refrain]
        Am      D7      G     G/F#  Em 
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you 
Am         D7  G         G/F#   Em 
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know 
         Am     D7        G    G/F#      Em 
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
    Am                                D7 
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Pont]
          Bm              C                G         G/F#    Em 
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know 
Am                 D7            G 
Some who aren't familiar with my name, 
     Bm                 C              G       G/F#  Em 
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand 
       Am       C             D7 
It’s anyone who listens to me sing
[Strophe]
G           G/F#      Em         C           G 
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame 
    G        G/F#   Em               C                 D7 
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same? 
G     G/F#   Em            C                   G 
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone 
    G     G/F#    Em                 C               D7 
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
[Refrain]
            Am      D7          G     G/F#  Em 
But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you 
Am         D7  G         G/F#   Em 
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know 
         Am     D7        G    G/F#      Em 
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
    Am                                D7 
Why do we always fight when I have to go
