By The Time

       G        Am7      D
By the time you said goodbye
        G       Am7          D7
You had already made up your mind
       G       Am7      D                  G           Am7      D7
To discard the past and throw away all the good things with the bad


[Verse]
          G    Am7    D
All those lazy summer nights
        G          Am7                D7
Sitting out on the back porch, with a bottle of wine
      G           Am7
Not a care in the world
     D                 G           Am7         D7
Just you and me making love, under star filled skies


[Verse]
    G       Am7    D
For me it's just a shame
   G        Am7       D7
No right or wrong and no one to blame
       G         Am7       D                     G           Am7  D7
Just a matter of fact, all that we had turned to bittersweet memories


[Bridge]
C          B7                   Em         A    D  D7
I'll be alright, as time passes on, on and on


[Solo]
G       Am7    D  x4


[Bridge]
C          B7                   Em         A    D  D7
I'll be alright, as time passes on, on and on


[Verse]
       G        Am7      D
By the time you said goodbye
        G       Am7          D7
You had already made up your mind
          G        Am7
Their was no going back
   D
No second chance
    G        Am7        D
No reason to try by the time
             G       Am7          D
You said goodbye
             G       Am7          D
You said goodbye
             G       Am7          D
You said goodbye
             G       Am7          D
You said goodbye
