The recording of this is out of tune.
To play in tune with the recording, I suggest tuning your guitar down a little.
[Intro]
C5
If you have to say goodbye
E5
Be careful not to lose control
F5 A5
It's better not to cry
G5 C5
Or to look me in the eye
F5 G5 C5
When you leave and you let it go
C5
And if you need to know the way
E5
Be careful not to play around
F5 A5
Don't ask me or I'll say
G5 C5
That I'm going my own way
F5 G5 C5 G5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 1]
C5 E5 A5 G5
I looked around
C5 E5 A5 G5
To find a key
C5 E5 A5
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
D5 G5
To make you see
C5 E5 A5 G5
I fell asleep
C5 E5 A5 G5
And I awoke
C5
And like a joke
E5 A5
You were next to me sleeping
D5 G5 F5
But then it broke
[Pre Chorus]
F5
Words aren't easy
A5
But neither am I
G5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
[Chorus]
C5
If you have to say goodbye
E5
Be careful not to lose control
F5 A5
It's better not to cry
G5 C5
Or to look me in the eye
F5 G5 C5
When you leave and you let it go
C5
And if you need to know the way
E5
Be careful not to play around
F5 A5
Don't ask me or I'll say
G5 C5
That I'm going my own way
F5 G5 C5 G5
I'm going up instead of underground
[Verse 2]
C5 E5 A5 G5
I hit the ground
C5 E5 A5 G5
And it shook the sky
C5 E5 A5
All I knew is that I didn't know why
D5 G5
I even tried
C5 E5 A5 G5
I should have died
C5 E5 A5 G5
Then I heard the news
C5 E5 A5
I thought I was the one that would lose
D5 G5 F5
But here's where I begin
[Pre Chorus]
F5
Words aren't easy
A5
But neither am I
G5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
[Chorus]
C5
If you have to say goodbye
E5
Be careful not to lose control
F5 A5
It's better not to cry
G5 C5
Or to look me in the eye
F5 G5 C5
When you leave and you let it go
C5
And if you need to know the way
E5
Be careful not to play around
F5 A5
Don't ask me or I'll say
G5 C5
That I'm going my own way
F5 G5 C5
I'm going up instead of underground
