C#                                   E
It's always so damn hard to say goodbye
       A
To the ones that you love the most
B
It’s just never that easy
C#
My cousins fading fast
           E            A
I can't believe that I didn't see it coming
   B
I didn’t see it coming down

C#
I should've been there to pick you up
   E                      A
I could've been there to help you out
               B
When you were going down
C#
I should've been there to pick you up
   E                      A
I could've been there to help you out
              B
But you were gone

Chorus:
                       C#
I never wanna say goodbye
I never wanna say goodbye
              E             A
I know you're in a better place
             B                 C#
But I can't get you out of my mind
                       C#
I never wanna say goodbye
               E       A
I never wanna say goodbye
                            B
I know you're in a better place,
why’d you say goodbye?

The pictures in my head will never be enough
To replace all the good times we had together, man
I miss you every day, I miss you every day
And I wake up in a cold, cold sweat, yeah
The picture's in my head will never be enough
To replace all the good times we had together, man

I should've been there to pick you up
I could've been there to help you out
But you were gone

Chorus

A                B
And I know you tried
(Well, I could've been there to help you out)
A            B
I know you cried
(I should've been there to pick you up)
                  A
When you were falling down
                         B
I never got a chance to say
                       C# E A B
I never wanna say goodbye

Chorus

C#                          A
I know you're in a better place
             B                 C#
But I can't get you out of my mind
                            A
I know you're in a better place
             B                 C#
But I can't get you out of my mind
