C G
early morning..
Am
there's a message on my phone
F
it's my mother saying,
Am G
"darling, please come home.."
C G
I fear the worst..
Am
but how could you leave us all behind
Dm
there's so much to say
Am G
but there's so little time..
[Chorus]
F C
so how do I say goodbye..
G Am
to someone who's been with me
F C
for my whole damn life..
G Am
you gave me my name and
F C
the colour of your eyes
G Am
I see your face when I look at mine..
F
so how do I, how do I,
C G
how do I say goodbye..?
C G
when I couldn't..
Am
you always saw the best in me..
F
right or wrong
Am G
you were always on my side..
C G
but I'm scared..
Am
of what life without you's like
Dm Am
and I saw the way she looked
G
into your eyes..
Dm Am
and I promise if you go
G
I will make sure she's alright
[Chorus]
F C
so how do I say goodbye..
G Am
to someone who's been with me
F C
for my whole damn life..
G Am
you gave me my name and
F C
the colour of your eyes
G Am
I see your face when I look at mine..
F
so how do I, how do I,
C G
how do I say goodbye..?
Dm
and there's no way
Am
you could ever let me down..
C
gonna steal some time and start again
G
you'll always be my closest friend
Dm Am
and someday we are gonna make it out..
G
just hold the light..
E
just hold the light..
[Chorus]
F C
so how do I say goodbye..
G Am
to someone who's been with me
F C
for my whole damn life..
G Am
you gave me my name and
F C
the colour of your eyes
G Am
I see your face when I look at mine..
F
so how do I, how do I,
C G
how do I say goodbye..?
F
so how do I, how do I,
C G
how do I say goodbye..?
