Cm F            Gm              D#
A fetish rosey cheeked is left alone
Cm           F
There is no justice
         Gm                        D#
Yeah we know this from when we’re young
Cm         F             Gm               D#
The smoke dances in the mirror out of the gun
Cm                  F
And she lost her sadness
        Gm                D#
In the madness she has to run

Chorus:
       Dm       G
Oh it hurts to say goodbye
             Am             F
Just when I learned not to make you cry
      Dm                G
Life passes by in the blink of an eye
            Am                        F
You know to me, girl, we’ll always be 25
       Dm
These tears will dry
        G
These tears will dry
              Am       F
But it still hurts to say goodbye

She doesn't notice
As the disguises enter the room
The look of the the flower
The casual killer lights up the gloom

Chorus:
Oh it hurts to say goodbye
Just when I learned not to make you cry
Life passes by in the blink of an eye
You know to me, girl, we'll always be 25
These tears will dry
These tears will dry
But it still hurts to say goodbye

Dm G
I just need more
Am                                  F
I just need more, I just need more time
Dm G
I just need more
Am                                  F
I just need more, I just need more time

Chorus:
Oh it hurts to say goodbye
Just when I learned not to make you cry
Life passes by in the blink of an eye
You know to me, girl, we'll always be 25
These tears will dry
These tears will dry
But it still hurts to say goodbye

I just need more
I just need more, I just need more time
I just need more
I just need more, I just need more time
