Words and music by Martin GK

Intro riff: RH G 2nd inversion, LH walks G, E, C, D

.......G.............................. Em...................... C..................... D
Remember back, how long it seems, to when we first arrived
..........G..................... Em..................... C..................... D
With everything so strange to us, we struggled to survive
........Am..................... .........D......................... C..................... Am
But time brought wisdom to us, answered every question "why?"
.................Am...................D........................... C...........D...........G.... riff
There’s only one we’re left with now, why must we say goodbye?


D........................ G...................D.............C
There’ll still be memories of times we had
.....Am................D
In many years away
...................G..................... .........A
You will remember these when things are bad
..........Em ..............D C
And think back to today
...Am.............................. D
It seems the last time ever
..............C..................... .............Am
But you know that there’ll be more
....... Am..................... D
To give rise to these memories
.......... C
Is the reason
..... D.............................. G. riff
It’s what you came hear for
It’s difficult to sit here now and think of years ahead
There’s so much that we never did, so many words unsaid
Although we know its not the end, however much we try
It still feels like forever on the day we said goodbye

It may be that we never will live in one place again
However much we visit it will never be the same
But we are joined together now with knots that won’t untie
It may be "au revoir" but we will never say "goodbye"!
