The Day You Said Goodnight
by Hale

Intro: E-B-A or A2-

Verse 1:
        E
Take me as you are
        B        A or A2
Push me off the road
    C#m      B                   A or A2
The sadness, I need this time to be with you

Verse 2: same chords

I’m freezing in the sun,
I’m burning in the rain
The silence;
I’m screaming, calling out your name

Pre-Chorus:
        C#m                 B
And I do reside in your light
               F#m             A B
Put out the fire with me and find
           C#m                   B
Yeah you lose the side of your circles
                 F#m              B
That’s what I’ll do if we say goodbye

Chorus:
   E                  B
To be is all i got to be
               F#m
And all that I see
               A         B
And all that I need this time
   E                    B
To be the life you gave me
                     F#m   G#m slide to A
The day you said goodnight

Verse 3:
The calmness in your face
That I see through the night
The warmth of your light is pressing unto us
You didn’t ask me why
I never would have known oblivion is falling down

Bridge:
C#m                 B                     A or A2
  If you could only know me like your prayers at night
C#m          B                   F#m           B
  Then everything between you and me will be alright

(repeat Chorus)

Coda: Chorus chords

She’s already taken,
She’s already taken,
She’s already taken me…

Outro:
E    B                   F#m    A
        The day you said goodnight
