[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 couldn't 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.

[Chorus]
