Dean Lewis - How Do I Say

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
Eb Bb/D Cm
Early morning there’s a message on my phone
Ab Cm Bb
It’s my mother saying, “Darling, please come home”
Eb Bb/D Cm
I fear the worst, but how could you leave us all behind?
Ab Cm Bb
There’s so much to say but there’s so little time

[Chorus]
Ab Eb
So how do I say goodbye
Bb Cm Ab Eb
To someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?
Bb Cm Cm/Bb Ab Eb
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
Bb Cm
I see your face when I look at mine
Ab Eb Bb
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

[Verse 2]
Eb Bb/D Cm
When I couldn’t, you always saw the best in me
Ab Eb/G Bb
Right or wrong, you were always on my side
Eb Bb/D Cm
But I’m scared of what life without you’s like
Ab Eb Bb
And I saw the way she looked into your eyes
Ab Eb Bb
And I promise if you go, I will make sure she’s alright

[Chorus]
Ab Eb
So how do I say goodbye
Bb Cm Ab Eb
To someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?
Bb Cm Cm/Bb Ab Eb
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
Bb Cm Cm/Bb
I see your face when I look at mine
Ab Eb Bb
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

[Bridge]
Fm/C Cm
And there’s no way you could ever let me down
Eb
Gonna steal some time and start again
Bb/D
You’ll always be my closest friend
Fm/C Cm
And someday we are gonna make it out
Bb G
Just hold the light, just hold the light

[Chorus]
Ab Eb
So how do I say goodbye
Bb Cm Ab Eb
To someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?
Bb Cm Cm/Bb Ab Eb
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
Bb Cm Cm/Bb
I see your face when I look at mine
Ab Eb Bb
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

[Outro]
Ab Eb Bb
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
