Pale Divine - Straight To Goodbye

      [Verse]

E                  F               E    F
Thanks for calling Mister Michael
E                    F         E     F
But he's not feeling well
E                   F                    E    F
His back is aching, heart is breaking
E                        F
You've reached a private hell


[Bridge]

G           A         C            B
I choose to be alone, embracing my defeat
G                 A             C
The game was over years ago, is victory so sweet


[Verse]

E                  F               E    F
Thanks for calling Mister Michael
E                   F      E    F
Right now he cannot speak
E                 F                   E       F
His empty life is past redemption
E                   F         E    F
His will to live is weak


[Bridge]

G               A                  C                B
There's nothing in my head, it's a rusting slipping gear
G       A                 C              B
My body stayed in bed but there's nobody here


[Chorus]

                      E         G
Tell me, where do the years go
C        B              E      G
  Blink an eye and they fly
C         B         G         A  C         B
  I don't wanna get hurt, so     just skip hello
       E                      G
And go straight to goodbye
C           B
Straight to goodbye, goodbye


[Instrumental]

E    F    E   F   E    F    E   F


[Verse]

E                  F
Thanks for calling Mister Michael,
E               F
waiting here to die
E                        F
Fragile Mister Lightning Bug
E                    F
without the wings to fly
E               F
Crush me for my chemicals,
E                 F
paint yourself to glow
E                  F
And watch my magic fade away,
E                F
so sad to see it go, go


[Solo]

E    F    E   F   E    F    E   F


[Verse]

E                  F
Thanks for calling Mister Michael,
E      F
Mister Everything
E                   F
Turn the television up
E                   F
so I can't hear the ring

G                 A        C                   B
You could leave a message, but I'll only press erase
G                      A
You'd have to break my door down
C                      B
Come on, hate me to my face


[Chorus]

                      E         G
Tell me, where do the years go
C        B              E      G
  Blink an eye and they fly
C         B         G         A  C         B
  I don't wanna get hurt, so     just skip hello
       E           G     C    B
And go straight to goodbye


[Outro]

             A          C
Where do the years go
F              E            A   C
  You blink an eye and they fly by
F         E         C     D           F     E
  I don't wanna get hurt, so just skip hello
       A           C
And go straight to goodbye
F            E
(Straight to goodbye)
                      A     C
Tell me, where do the years go
F            E
(Straight to goodbye)
A                     C
Tell me, where do the years go
F             E
(Straight to goodbye)
           A          C
I'm just a freak in a sideshow
F
Please just say it
