[Intro] G D Em7 Cm7
G D Em7
[Verse 1] Everybody's lied and stealed and broke a heart
G D Cm7
All of my relationships seem to fall apart (Oh)
G D Em7
[Chorus] How many times do I need to say goodbye
G D Cm7
How many times do I need an alibi
G D Em7
I'm crying out can anybody hear me
G D Cm7
I can really use, somebody right next to me
G D Em7
[Verse 2] They call me their friends, they call me their family
G D Cm7
But as of now, I'm just another memory
G D Em7
[Chorus] How many times do I need to say goodbye
G D Cm7
How many times do I need an alibi
G D Em7
I'm crying out can anybody hear me
G D Cm7
I can really use, somebody right next to me
G D Em7
[Verse 3] This is a song about a little boy
G D Cm7
Six years young and he's on his own
G D Em7
Walking the streets of this little town
G D Cm7
Fightin the pain, that nobody wants him around
G D Em7
[Chorus] How many times do I need to say goodbye
G D Cm7
How many times do I need an alibi
G D Em7
I'm crying out can anybody hear me
G D Cm7
I can really use, somebody right next to me
G D Em7 Cm7
Please promise me, that you will never leave me
