F                         Gm
Goodbye, goodbye to the friends I've had
 A#
Goodbye, goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye, goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Anybody who lent me a favor
Goodbye, goodbye to the friends I've had
Goodbye, goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye, goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Anybody who lent me a favor

Lent me a favor
Lent me a favor
Lent me a favor
Lent me, anybody who lent me
Hmm, anybody who lent me

F                       Gm
Goodbye to the friends I've had
(Prepare yourself)
       A#
And I finally found my stride when
I walked in the background
(A radical and beautiful act, but
I haven't taught myself that so I can't teach it)
Everybody used to ball with the war, with the pain
(In growing up with all these fears,
and I hope you don't mind I'm just saying all this)
Got my song and I feel like giving up
rainbows and crying
Everybody lost somebody, hmm
(Just all these fears and all this pain.
I never trusted any of my own feelings and
I just thought everything was like)
Tearing it all off and the war and
the whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
(Well I'm just inventing this.
So I caused myself so much pain)
Two dollar singing in my song in the fan like whoa
(But now it's dignified.
I needed this experience but
I'm scared I don't deserve it because
I didn't give my honest fears)
Only wanna rhythm in the side when
I'm at your window
Every night I walk past your window

Goodbye to the friends I've had
Goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Anybody who lent me a favor
Goodbye to the friends I've had
Goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Anybody who lent me a favor

Chorus:
Goodbye, goodbye to the friends I've had
Goodbye, goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye, goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Anybody who lent me a favor
Goodbye, goodbye to the friends I've had
Goodbye, goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye, goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Anybody who lent me a favor

Lent me a favor
Lent me a favor
Lent me a favor
(Goodbye to the friends I had)
Lent me, anybody who lent me
Hmm, anybody who lent me
