Gmi                         B
1. You build it up and tear it down
                        Gmi
   There's no reason to follow you
                               B
   You left the song without a sound
                        Gmi
   You left the story I made for you
                        Eb
   Softly angels go and cry
                           F
   In the stillness of the night

                   B         Eb
R: Never is a long time, goodbye
      Cmi     Gmi     F
   No answers for the asking
               B         Eb
   It's a long time, goodbye
      Cmi   B       F
   No mercy for the aching
               B        Eb
   It's a long time, oh my
          Cmi      B       F
   See no light of love forsaken
                   B         Eb
   Never is a long time, goodbye
         Cmi       Gmi
   Let's spend the night
        F                         B
   When this dream has come to an end

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

R: Never is a long time, goodbye...
   
   Never is a long time
   Never is a long time
