Intro
D5
If you have to say goodbye
F#5
Be careful not to lose control
G5 B5
It's better not to cry
A5 D5
Or to look me in the eye
G5 A5 D5
When you leave and you let it go
D5
And if you need to know the way
F#5
Be careful not to play around
G5 B5
Don't ask me or I'll say
A5 D5
That I'm going my own way
G5 A5 D5 A5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
D5 F#5 B5 A5
I looked around
D5 F#5 B5 A5
To find a key
D5 F#5 B5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
E5 A5
To make you see
D5 F#5 B5 A5
I fell asleep
D5 F#5 B5 A5
And I awoke
D5
And like a joke
F#5 B5
You were next to me sleeping
E5 A5 G5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
G5
Words aren't easy
B5
But neither am I
A5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
D5
If you have to say goodbye
F#5
Be careful not to lose control
G5 B5
It's better not to cry
A5 D5

When you leave and you let it go
D5
And if you need to know the way
F#5
Be careful not to play around
G5 B5
Don't ask me or I'll say
A5 D5
That I'm going my own way
G5 A5 D5 A5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
D5 F#5 B5 A5
I hit the ground
D5 F#5 B5 A5
And it shook the sky
D5 F#5 B5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
E5 A5
I even tried
D5 F#5 B5 A5
I should have died
D5 F#5 B5 A5
Then I heard the news
D5 F#5 B5
I thought I was the one that would lose
E5 A5 G5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
G5
Words aren't easy
B5
But neither am I
A5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
D5
If you have to say goodbye
F#5
Be careful not to lose control
G5 B5
It's better not to cry

Or to look me in the eye
