Intro
G#5
If you have to say goodbye
C5
Be careful not to lose control
C#5 F5
It's better not to cry
D#5 G#5
Or to look me in the eye
C#5 D#5 G#5
When you leave and you let it go
G#5
And if you need to know the way
C5
Be careful not to play around
C#5 F5
Don't ask me or I'll say
D#5 G#5
That I'm going my own way
C#5 D#5 G#5 D#5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
I looked around
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
To find a key
G#5 C5 F5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
A#5 D#5
To make you see
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
I fell asleep
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
And I awoke
G#5
And like a joke
C5 F5
You were next to me sleeping
A#5 D#5 C#5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
C#5
Words aren't easy
F5
But neither am I
D#5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
G#5
If you have to say goodbye
C5
Be careful not to lose control
C#5 F5
It's better not to cry
D#5 G#5
Or to look me in the eye
C#5 D#5 G#5
When you leave and you let it go
G#5
And if you need to know the way
C5
Be careful not to play around
C#5 F5
Don't ask me or I'll say
D#5 G#5
That I'm going my own way
C#5 D#5 G#5 D#5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
I hit the ground
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
And it shook the sky
G#5 C5 F5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
A#5 D#5
I even tried
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
I should have died
G#5 C5 F5 D#5
Then I heard the news
G#5 C5 F5
I thought I was the one that would lose
A#5 D#5 C#5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
C#5
Words aren't easy
F5
But neither am I
D#5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
G#5
If you have to say goodbye
C5
Be careful not to lose control
C#5 F5
It's better not to cry
D#5 G#5
Or to look me in the eye
C#5 D#5 G#5
When you leave and you let it go
G#5
And if you need to know the way
C5
Be careful not to play around
C#5 F5
Don't ask me or I'll say
D#5 G#5
