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

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