Frank Sinatra – Goodbye (She Quietly Says)
Cm7 Bb6
There is no great big ending,
Ab6/Bb
No sunset in the sky
Gbmaj7 Gb6
There is no string ensemble,
Bmaj9 B
And she doesn't even cry
Abm Db
And just as I begin to say
Gb Bmaj7
That we should make another try
Bb/F Faug
She reaches out across the table looks at me
Bb
and quietly says good-bye
Cm7 Bb6
There is no big explosion
Ab6/Bb
No tempest in the tea
Gbmaj7 Gb6
The world does not stop turning round
Bmaj9 B
There's no big tragedy
Abm Db
Sitting in a coffee shop
Gb Bmaj7
With cheesecake and some apple pie

She reaches out across the table, looks at me

and quietly says good-bye
Gb Gdim Abm Db
Good-bye, Said so easily
Ebm Ebm7/Db Cdim
Good-bye, Said so quietly
Bm6 Gb/Bb Fm/Ab Abaug Ab
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Cm7 Bb6 Ab6/Bb
Just two always strangers avoid each other's eyes
Gbmaj7 Gb6
One still make believing,
Bmaj9 B
One still telling lies
Abm Db
She tells me that I'm not to blame
Gb Bmaj7
But when I ask the reason why
Bb/F Faug
She reaches out across the table, looks at me
Bb
and quietly says good-bye
Gb Gdim Abm Db
Good-bye, Said so easily
Ebm Ebm7/Db Cdim
Good-bye, Said so quietly
Bm6 Gb/Bb Fm/Ab Abaug Ab
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

She reaches out across the table, looks at me

and quietly says good-bye
