G C
I haven't learned to say goodbye
G C
Hello itself is hard enough
G C A
It kills to let a good thing die
C D G
And I don't want to see it go bad
 
 
Chorus: C
Picture perfect morning
 
Right before the dawn and
G
City lights are dying
C
Sing in the cathedral
A
Face in the stained glass
D
Is dying
 
 
G C
I won't let myself look at you
G C
And see you like I really do
G C A
It's hard to believe that you're really here
C D G
So I just pretend that you're not there
 
 
G C
And when my plane flew through the rain
G C
It shook the wings and people screamed
G C A
But I was so sure that I'd see you again
C D G
I was not afraid of anything
