[Verse 1]
F
There is no easy way to break somebody's heart
Cm
When you know what you're gonna say will leave a mark
G#
But I've tried, and I've tried, and I've tried
A#
To no end
F
This is the moment that you smile before you cry
Cm
Feels like I'm aiming for your heart, ready to fire
G#
Oh I wish it could be different, wish it could be different
A#
But it'll only hurt you more
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
If I say that things can change
A#
I'd be leading you astray, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
F Cm
The stars in the sky are all burned out
G#
Nothing to guide us back home now
A#
These are the words I've kept inside
F
Now this is the sound of goodbye
Cm
Lost in the darkness, can't turn back
G#
Everything starts to fade to black
A#
How can the silence seem so loud?
A#
And all you can hear is the sound of goodbye
[Verse 2]
F
I know I said that I would love you 'till I die (I die)
Cm
That was then and this is now, that ain't no lie (no lie)
G# A#
But I can't keep on faking I'm constantly making you wait
F
I don't wanna fight with you but I don't wanna fight for you
Cm
'Cause things just don't feel the same
G#
Oh I wish it could be different, wish it could be different
A#
But it'll only hurt you more
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
If I say that things can change (Hey)
A#
I'd be leading you astray, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
F Cm
The stars in the sky are all burned out
G#
Nothing to guide us back home now
A#
These are the words I've kept inside
F
Now this is the sound of goodbye
Cm
Lost in the darkness, can't turn back
G#
Everything starts to fade to black
A#
How can the silence seem so loud?
A#
And all you can hear is the sound...
[Middle 8]
G# A# G#
Of goodbye, of goodbye
A#
These words fall out my mouth and now nothing feels the same
[Chorus]

The stars in the sky are all burned out
