Verse 1:
 (Gm)                            A#
    You build it up and tear it down,
                          Gm
    there's no reason to follow you.
                                 A#
    You left the song without a sound,
                          Gm
    you left the story I made for you.
                          Eb
    Softly angels go and cry,
                             F
    in the stillness of the night.


 Chorus:
                     A#        Eb
    Never is a long time, goodbye.
        Cm      Gm      F
    No answers for the asking.
                 A#        Eb
    It's a long time, goodbye.
        Cm    A#      F
    No mercy for the aching.
                 A#       Eb
    It's a long time, Oh my.
            Cm       A#      F
    See no light for the forsaken.
                     A#        Eb
    Never is a long time, goodbye.
           Cm        Gm
    Let's spend the night,
          F                         A#
    when this dream has come to an end.


 Verse 2:

    Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
                     Gm
    And yes I cried over you.
                          A#
    You left me blind in paradise,
                                Gm
    you left me hungry for the touch of you.
                               Eb
    Snow white angels run and hide,
                             F
    in the blackness of the night.

 Chorus:
                     A#        Eb
    Never is a long time, goodbye.
        Cm      Gm      F          {never is a long time}
    No answers for the asking.
                 A#        Eb
    It's a long time, goodbye.
        Cm    A#      F            {never is a long time}
    No mercy for the aching.
                 A#       Eb
    It's a long time, Oh my.
            Cm       A#      F     {never is a long time}
    See no light of love forsaken.
                     A#        Eb
    Never is a long time, goodbye.
           Cm        Gm
    Let's spend the night,
          F                         A#
    when this dream has come to an end.

    Never is a long time.

    Never is a long time.
