Intro
E5
If you have to say goodbye
G#5
Be careful not to lose control
A5 C#5
It's better not to cry
B5 E5
Or to look me in the eye
A5 B5 E5
When you leave and you let it go
E5
And if you need to know the way
G#5
Be careful not to play around
A5 C#5
Don't ask me or I'll say
B5 E5
That I'm going my own way
A5 B5 E5 B5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
I looked around
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
To find a key
E5 G#5 C#5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
F#5 B5
To make you see
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
I fell asleep
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
And I awoke
E5
And like a joke
G#5 C#5
You were next to me sleeping
F#5 B5 A5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
A5
Words aren't easy
C#5
But neither am I
B5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
E5
If you have to say goodbye
G#5
Be careful not to lose control
A5 C#5
It's better not to cry
B5 E5
Or to look me in the eye
A5 B5 E5
When you leave and you let it go
E5
And if you need to know the way
G#5
Be careful not to play around
A5 C#5
Don't ask me or I'll say
B5 E5
That I'm going my own way
A5 B5 E5 B5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
I hit the ground
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
And it shook the sky
E5 G#5 C#5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
F#5 B5
I even tried
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
I should have died
E5 G#5 C#5 B5
Then I heard the news
E5 G#5 C#5
I thought I was the one that would lose
F#5 B5 A5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
A5
Words aren't easy
C#5
But neither am I
B5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
E5
If you have to say goodbye
G#5
Be careful not to lose control
A5 C#5
It's better not to cry
