Intro
B5
If you have to say goodbye
D#5
Be careful not to lose control
E5 G#5
It's better not to cry
F#5 B5
Or to look me in the eye
E5 F#5 B5
When you leave and you let it go
B5
And if you need to know the way
D#5
Be careful not to play around
E5 G#5
Don't ask me or I'll say
F#5 B5
That I'm going my own way
E5 F#5 B5 F#5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
I looked around
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
To find a key
B5 D#5 G#5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
C#5 F#5
To make you see
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
I fell asleep
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
And I awoke
B5
And like a joke
D#5 G#5
You were next to me sleeping
C#5 F#5 E5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
E5
Words aren't easy
G#5
But neither am I
F#5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
B5
If you have to say goodbye
D#5
Be careful not to lose control
E5 G#5
It's better not to cry
F#5 B5
Or to look me in the eye
E5 F#5 B5
When you leave and you let it go
B5
And if you need to know the way
D#5
Be careful not to play around
E5 G#5
Don't ask me or I'll say
F#5 B5
That I'm going my own way
E5 F#5 B5 F#5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
I hit the ground
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
And it shook the sky
B5 D#5 G#5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
C#5 F#5
I even tried
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
I should have died
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
Then I heard the news
B5 D#5 G#5
I thought I was the one that would lose
C#5 F#5 E5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
E5
Words aren't easy
G#5
But neither am I
F#5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
B5
If you have to say goodbye
D#5
Be careful not to lose control
E5 G#5
It's better not to cry
F#5 B5
Or to look me in the eye
E5 F#5 B5
When you leave and you let it go
B5
And if you need to know the way
D#5
Be careful not to play around
E5 G#5
Don't ask me or I'll say
F#5 B5
That I'm going my own way
E5 F#5 B5
