Intro
F5
If you have to say goodbye
A5
Be careful not to lose control
A#5 D5
It's better not to cry
C5 F5
Or to look me in the eye
A#5 C5 F5
When you leave and you let it go
F5
And if you need to know the way
A5
Be careful not to play around
A#5 D5
Don't ask me or I'll say
C5 F5
That I'm going my own way
A#5 C5 F5 C5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
F5 A5 D5 C5
I looked around
F5 A5 D5 C5
To find a key
F5 A5 D5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
G5 C5
To make you see
F5 A5 D5 C5
I fell asleep
F5 A5 D5 C5
And I awoke
F5
And like a joke
A5 D5
You were next to me sleeping
G5 C5 A#5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
A#5
Words aren't easy
D5
But neither am I
C5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
F5

A#5 C5 F5 C5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
F5 A5 D5 C5
I hit the ground
F5 A5 D5 C5
And it shook the sky
F5 A5 D5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
G5 C5
I even tried
F5 A5 D5 C5
I should have died
F5 A5 D5 C5
Then I heard the news
F5 A5 D5
I thought I was the one that would lose
G5 C5 A#5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
A#5
Words aren't easy
D5
But neither am I
C5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
