Music and Lyrics by JoJo Worthington

Verse 1
D
You approached me from the room over there
Bm
Maybe it was the way you stared
G
But I thought you were nice, thought you were cool
A
So we went and got married right after school.
Verse 2
D Bm
Moved to California that day, and you were never ever the same
G
So I went outside and climbed a tree
A
I'm just trying to tell you that I'm going to leave!
Chorus
D Bm
Goodbye Amadeus
G A
I'm going to miss our lives, I'm going to miss our fights.
D Bm
Goodbye Amadeus
G A
I'm going to miss our lives and when we said....
Verse 3
D
Radiate some heat against me
Bm G
My toes are getting cold beside yours.

I'm just trying to make my life here
A
But, it's kind of hard when I despise you.
Verse 4
D
'Cause you're getting pretty cocky these days
Bm
Your ego is getting more and more insane.
G
I never said that you were handsome
A
I just wanted to make a ransom.
-Chorus-
Bridge 1
D Bm
Radiate some heat against me!
G A
My toes are getting cold beside yours!
D Bm
I said, radiate some heat against me!
G A
My toes are getting cold beside yours!
Bridge 2
D Bm G
I turned left and I was right about seeing you in the corner of my eye
A
Since then you've grown a beard and you're on the sidewalk asking for beer.
D Bm
Ten years past and it's been so-oh long since I last heard you sing our wedding songs.
G
Next day I picked up the paper to read
A
And the headline screamed the death of Amadeus!
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
Outro
D Bm G A
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
