"The Long Goodbye" - by Cliff Eberhardt
 
Intro:  Am  E  Am

N.C.                   Am
Yes, I care about your problems and I really want to hear them

                  Dm                    Am
But how's about a piece of the positive sky?

                        E                           Am 
And it always starts to raining every time I try to love you

                   E                  Am
And we start negotiating the long goodbye

                           Am                          Am

And I'm sitting in the airport and I'm dying just to call you
But you always make me pay for the little bit of time
And there really is no motive, I just called to say I love you
But your voice sounds like a prelude to the long goodbye

Bridge:
G
All the cities and the towns below

C
Hold on, darlin', I'm coming home

  G                                C 
I hope you open your door for me tonight

          G 
I've been praying like hell to the stars above

C
Give me little piece of what I'm dreaming of

E
How's about a little love?  Just a little bit of love?


How come the coffee tastes so different when you reheat it in the morning?
And you always seem to catch me like I done some kind of crime?
And it's not just superstition when observing our condition
That you're storing ammunition for the long goodbye
