(4/4 quick & lively)

G                                              Cm               G
I've been on the wrong side of the front door too often
                                       D
watched you slam it in my fa-ce
G                                         Cm               G
I may learn the hard way - but I'm not a soft one
                 Cm                 G
Tonight I'm standin' in your place

*chorus*
G                                  Cm        G
'Cause you taught m-e a lot about leavin'
                            D
Won't even have to tr-y
G                   Cm                               G
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin'
                                    D
And a chance for you to cry
C                D                   G
It's time you learned about goodbye

*Instrumental break*

I've stood behind you, I've laid beside you
But I won't do that anymo-re
Cause I'm tired of bein' just he-re when you want me
Tonight I'm walkin' out that do-or

* chorus *(x2)
It's time you learned about goodby-e
It's time you learned about goobye
(guitar lick)
