Intro
A#5
If you have to say goodbye
D5
Be careful not to lose control
D#5 G5
It's better not to cry
F5 A#5
Or to look me in the eye
D#5 F5 A#5
When you leave and you let it go
A#5
And if you need to know the way
D5
Be careful not to play around
D#5 G5
Don't ask me or I'll say
F5 A#5
That I'm going my own way
D#5 F5 A#5 F5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
A#5 D5 G5 F5
I looked around
A#5 D5 G5 F5
To find a key
A#5 D5 G5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
C5 F5
To make you see
A#5 D5 G5 F5
I fell asleep
A#5 D5 G5 F5
And I awoke
A#5
And like a joke
D5 G5
You were next to me sleeping
C5 F5 D#5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
D#5
Words aren't easy
G5
But neither am I
F5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
A#5
If you have to say goodbye
D5
Be careful not to lose control

It's better not to cry

Be careful not to play around
D#5 G5
Don't ask me or I'll say
F5 A#5
That I'm going my own way
D#5 F5 A#5 F5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
A#5 D5 G5 F5
I hit the ground
A#5 D5 G5 F5
And it shook the sky
A#5 D5 G5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
C5 F5
I even tried
A#5 D5 G5 F5
I should have died
A#5 D5 G5 F5
Then I heard the news
A#5 D5 G5
I thought I was the one that would lose
C5 F5 D#5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
D#5
Words aren't easy
G5
But neither am I
F5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
A#5
If you have to say goodbye
D5
Be careful not to lose control
D#5 G5
It's better not to cry
F5 A#5
