[C] If you have to say goodbye,
[E] be careful not to lose control
[F] It's [A] better not to [G] cry or to look [C] me in the [F] eye when you [G] let it [C] go
And if you need to know the way, [E] be careful not to play around
[F] Don't ask me [Am] or I'll say [G] that I'm going [C] my own way
I'm [F] going up [G] instead of [C] underground

[A] [G] And [C] like a joke you were next to me [A] sleeping, [D] but [G] then it broke
[F] [Ab]
[Dm] Words are easy, [A] but neither am I
[G] I don't want to be the one that learns to [C] fly
If you have to say goodbye, [E] be careful not to lose control
[F] It's better not to cry [G] or to look [Cm] me in the eye [F] when you [G] let [C] it go

[Fm] [A] and [G] it [D] shook the [F] sky
[A] [G] All [C] I knew is that I [A] didn't know why [D] I [Fm] even [G] cried
[F] I couldn't [C] [E] lie [C] [A] when [G] I [C] heard the [A] news
[Bb] [G] I [C] thought I was the one [A] that would lose, [D] but here's where [G] I begin
[F] Words [Dm] are easy, [A] but neither am [Fm] I
