Intro
G5
If you have to say goodbye
B5
Be careful not to lose control
C5 E5
It's better not to cry
D5 G5
Or to look me in the eye
C5 D5 G5
When you leave and you let it go
G5
And if you need to know the way
B5
Be careful not to play around
C5 E5
Don't ask me or I'll say
D5 G5
That I'm going my own way
C5 D5 G5 D5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
G5 B5 E5 D5
I looked around
G5 B5 E5 D5
To find a key
G5 B5 E5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
A5 D5
To make you see
G5 B5 E5 D5
I fell asleep
G5 B5 E5 D5
And I awoke
G5
And like a joke
B5 E5
You were next to me sleeping
A5 D5 C5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
C5
Words aren't easy
E5
But neither am I
D5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]

C5 D5 G5 D5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
G5 B5 E5 D5
I hit the ground
G5 B5 E5 D5
And it shook the sky
G5 B5 E5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
A5 D5
I even tried
G5 B5 E5 D5
I should have died
G5 B5 E5 D5
Then I heard the news
G5 B5 E5
I thought I was the one that would lose
A5 D5 C5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
C5
Words aren't easy
E5
But neither am I
D5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
