🎸 Verse 1:
      C      Em7         Am7
Early mornin', there's a message on my phone
F              C                    G
It's my mother saying "Darlin', please come home"
C     Em7                Am7
I fear the worst, but how could you leave us all behind?
           Dm               C                 G
There's so much to say, but there's so little time.

🎸 Chorus:
            F       C
So how do I say goodbye
G                    Am             F          C
To someone's who's been with me for my whole damn life?
G           Am              F             C
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
G                   Am
I see your face when I look at mine
F                   C               G
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?


🎸 Verse 2:
       C      Em7           Am7
When I call you, you always saw the best in me
F                   C                 G    Gadd11 G
Right or wrong, you were always on my side
C     Em7      Am7
I'm scared of what life without you's like
Dm              C                G
And I saw the way she looked into your eyes.


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
      Dm              Am
And I promised if you go
G
I will make sure she's alright.


[🎸 Chorus:
            F       C
So how do I say goodbye
G                    Am             F          C
To someone's who's been with me for my whole damn life?
G           Am              F             C
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
G                   Am
I see your face when I look at mine
F                   C               G
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?


🎸 Bridge:
            Dm                         C  Am
And there's no way you can ever let me down
C*
You wanna steal you some time and start again
G*
You'll always be my closest friend
Dm                             C Am
And some day, we are gonna make it out
G                    E
Just hold the light, just hold the light.


🎸 Chorus:
            F       C
So how do I say goodbye
G                    Am             F          C
To someone's who's been with me for my whole damn life?
G           Am              F             C
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
G                   Am
I see your face when I look at mine
F                   C               G
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
