Recorded by Dean Lewis
Album: Single (2022)

(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
None

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

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

(Verse 2)
When I (C)couldn’t, (Em) you always (Am)saw the best in me
(F)Right or wrong, you were (Am)always on my (G)side
I'm (C)scared (Em) of what (Am)life without you's like
And I (Dm)saw the way she (C)looked into your eyes (G)

(Pre-Chorus)
And I (Dm)promised if you (Am)go
I will (G)make sure she's alright

(Chorus)
So how do I (F)say good-(C)bye
To (G)someone's who's been (Am)with me for my (F)whole damn (C)life?
(G) You gave me (Am)my name and the (F)color of your (C)eyes
I see your (G)face when I look at (Am)mine
So (F)how do I, how do I, (C)how do I say goodbye? (G)
  
(Bridge)
And there's (Dm)no way (C)you can ever let me (Am)down
You wanna steal (C)you some time and start again,
You'll (G)always be my closest friend,
And (Dm)some day, we are gonna (C)make it (Am)out
Just hold the light, (G) just hold the light (F)

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

(Outro.)
So (F)how do I, how do I, (C)how do I say goodbye? (G) - - - - -
