[C5]If you have to say goodbye
[E5]Be careful not to lose control
It's [F5]better not to c[A5]cry
Or to [G5]look me in the [C5]eye
When you [F5]leave and you l[G5]let it g[C5]go
[C5]And if you need to know the way
[E5]Be careful not to play around
Don't [F5]ask me or I'll s[A5]say
That I'm [G5]going my own [C5]way
I'm going u[F5]p instead of u[G5]nderg[C5]round [G5]

To [D5]make you [G5]see
I [C5]fell a[E5]asleep [A5] [G5]
An[C5]And I aw[E5]awoke [A5] [G5]
And like a [C5]joke
You were [E5]next to me [A5]sleeping
But [D5]then it [G5]broke [F5]

Then I h[C5]heard the n[E5]news [A5] [G5]
