[Intro]
 
| E | C#m | A | B | E | C#m | G#m | A B |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
     E                   C#m
    Did I disappoint you, or let you down?
     A                                         B
    Should I be feeling guilty, or let the judges frown?
     E                  C#m
    'Cos I saw the end, before we'd begun
     G#m                                A            B
    Yes, I saw you were blinded, and I knew I had won.
          E                     C#m
    So I took what's mine by eternal right.
     A                               B
    Took your soul out into the night.
     E                     C#m
    It may be over but it won't stop there,
         G#m                    A    B
    I am here for you if you'd only care.    
 
         E
    You touched my heart, you touched my soul,
         C#m
    You changed my life and all my goals,
         A
    And love is blind and that I knew when,
       A                  B
    My heart was blinded by you.
     E
    I've kissed your lips and held your head,
     C#m
    Shared your dreams and shared your bed,
     G#m
    I know you well, I know your smell,
     A            B            E
    I've been, addicted to you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     E                C#m
    Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
     A                                B                 E
    You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
     E                C#m
    Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
     A                                 B                 E
    You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     E              C#m
    I am a dreamer, but when I wake,
     A                                   B
    You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take,
     E                  C#m
    And as you move on, remember me,
     G#m                   A           B
    Remember us and all we, used to be.
 
     E
    I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile,
     C#m
    I've watched you sleeping for a while,
     A
    I'd be the father of your child,
     A                      B
    I'd spend, a lifetime with you.
     E
    I know your fears and you know mine,
     C#m
    We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
     G#m
    And I love you, I swear that's true,
     A        B                    E
    I cannot live, without you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     E                C#m
    Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
     A                              B                  E
    You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
     E                C#m
    Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
     A                               B                  E
    You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
 
    E   A   E   B
 
 
[Bridge]
 
           A     C#m               G#m      A                   B
    And I still, hold your hand in mine, in mine when I'm asleep
           A    C#m             G#m             A             B
    And I will, bear my soul in time, when I'm kneeling at your feet.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     E                C#m
    Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
     A                              B                  E
    You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
     E                C#m
    Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
     A                              B                   E
    You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
 
 
[Outro]
 
    E C#m
    I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
    A B
    I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
    E C#m
    I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
    A B E
    I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
