Goodbye To Love

Year: 1965 - Album: Carpenters Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition

Written by John Bettis/Richard Carpenter

	  		(no chord)      Bbsus2 Bb
I'll say good - bye to love; 
Cm7/b5/Bb    F7/Bb             Bb      F7/Bb
No one ever cared if I should live or die. 
Bbsus         F7/Bb                D7/sus4/G D7/F#     Gm  
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by; 
Gm/F Em7/b5 Bb/F            Eb/F            Bb/F
And  all I know of love is how to live without it -- 
  D7/F#              Gm      Gm/F     Em7/b5
I just can't seem to find it. 
Bb/F            Eb/F           Bb/F          Eb/F
So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone; 
    Bb/F                Eb/F        Bb/F              Eb/F
And though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known 
 
 
               Bbsus2 Bb
I'd say good - bye to love. 
Cm7/b5/Bb     F7/Bb              Bb       F7/Bb
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine; 
Bbsus            F7/Bb             D7/sus4/G D7/F#     
Surely time will lose these bitter memories and I'll
Gm   Gm/F Em7/b5    Bb/F          Eb/F           Bb/F
Find that there is someone to believe in and to live for,
D7/F#             Gm       Gm/F     Em7/b5  
Something I could live for. 
Bb/F             Eb/F                Bb/F              Eb/F 
All the years of useless search have fin'ly reached an end 
Bb/F           Eb/F            Bb/F       Eb/F
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend 
          D7              Gm                Cm7/b5        F7/sus4   F7
From this day, love is forgotten -- I'll go on as best I can. 
 
 
Instrumental Interlude: First 5 lines of verse 
 
 
Bb/F             Eb/F        Bb/F          Eb/F
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all 
Bb/F          Eb/F              Bb/F          Eb/F
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls 
G                F/G              Em/G               Dm/G
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong, 
        C/G            G              Csus2      C
But for now this is my song, and it's goodbye to love 
         Csus2      C
I'll say goodbye to love.
