F#                 A#m              B
Restless footsteps walking down the hallway,
         C#            F#
  in the middle of the night,
  F#                   A#m
I start hearing little sounds,
    B             C#               F#
 be-come so magni-fied here in the quiet,
    B                  A#m
The kitchen phone that rings,
              G#m             F#
 and when you answer quickly speaking,
     B            A#m            G#m
In a whisper, I'm left to wonder why.

                  A#m              B         C#
I've got a lonely feeling that I'm hearing,
                   F#     A#m   B   C#
The sounds of good-bye,
                   F#     A#m   B   C#
The sounds of good-bye,

F#                   A#m
Stockinged feet that softly tiptoe,
             B          C#           F#
 through the room where I lay half a-sleep,
F#                A#m
Clinking hangers, fumbling hands,
      B                C#               F#
 that close the closet door that always creaks,
    B                A#m
The snapping latches on the suitcase,
          G#m          F#
 that you carried with you,
        B                 A#m           G#m
To your mother's on those weekends many times.

                  A#m              B         C#
I've got a lonely feeling that I'm hearing,
                   F#     A#m   B   C#
The sounds of good-bye,
                   F#     A#m   B   D
The sounds of good-bye,

    G               Bm             C
The scratching of a pencil writing words,
        D                 G     Bm   C   D
 upon a note I'll hate to read,
    G              Bm
The pounding in my heart so loud,
      C                D             G        Bm  C   D
 it's drowning out the words I wanna speak,
    C                  Bm
The kitchen light that switches off,
       Am           G
 while I lay here a-lone,
    C               Bm                Am
And sudden darkness echoes through my mind.

                  Bm               C         D
I've got a lonely feeling that I'm hearing,
                   G     Bm   C   D
The sounds of good-bye,
                   G     Bm   C   D
The sounds of good-bye.

    G                Bm
The clicking of your high heels,
          C               D                G       Bm  C   D
 down the staircase and a-cross the marble floor,
  G                  Bm               C
I call your name and hear a deafening silence,
         D            G      Bm   C    D
 and the closing of a door,
  C             Bm              Am                 G
A roaring motor in the street a stranger's cutting voice,
       C               Bm              Am
Then a violent rush of teardrops to my eyes.

                  Bm               C         D
I've got a lonely feeling that I'm hearing,
                   G     Bm   C   D
The sounds of good-bye,
                   G     Bm   C   D
The sounds of good-bye.
                   G     Bm   C   D
The sounds of good-bye.
