"Goodbye" - Kesha Sebert, 2002 Chords transcribed by Gemma Seymour-Amper, 4 October 2012 I came across this song recently, and thinking it was brilliant, looked up the chords here only to find that of the six available versions, every single one of them is wrong, particularly about the bridge section, so I thought I'd add my two cents. Sadly, there aren't any videotaped versions of this that I've seen, so I'm not exactly sure how close this is to what's being played on the recording, but it's close, that much I do know, for a simplified version. I have done my best to indicate the proper rhythm of the chord changes, so pay attention to where chords are notated slightly before or after a syllable of the lyric. Hopefully, my markup will survive the submission process correctly. Enjoy!

{Bridge Chords} The first five chords are the same basic chord shape, just slid up the fretboard while leaving the other strings open. I can't tell you how many songs in which I've used this trick, because it produces such lovely sounds. The chord names are those reported by Guitar Toolkit iOS app, but it doesn't distinguish between the two forms of Asus4, so I have added a (#1) and (#2). Asus4(#1) - x.0.0.2.3.0 Asus2sus4 - x.0.0.4.5.0 Dmaj9/A - x.0.0.6.7.0 A7sus4- x.0.0.7.8.0 Asus4(#2) - x.0.0.9.10.0 Em (Am form, barred at the 7th fret) - x.7.9.9.8.7 Asus4(#1) Asus2sus4 Dmaj9/A A7sus4 Asus4(#2) Do I ever cross your mind? Asus4(#1) Asus2sus4 Dmaj9/A A7sus4 Asus4(#2) 'Cause you're on mine all the time Asus4(#1) Asus2sus4 Dmaj9/A A7sus4 Asus4(#2) I can't believe how unfair life is

Some^Emtimes ^A Oh, oh...

^D (I'll) find a way ^A To close the door ^Cadd9 And be OK with ^Gnothing more but ^D I found you once ^A You're lost again ^Cadd9 2000 miles ^Gtook what could have been

^GI don't want to Won't let myself I have to real^Dise A Cadd9 G

^G This might be This could be This is goodb^Dye A Cadd9 ^GThis is goodb^Dye A Cadd9 G

^D The hope is ^Afading f^Cadd9rom my l^Gips...
