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