F#               A#m                D#m
You and I were friends from outer space
  C#           F#                   A#m
Afraid to let go, the only two who understood this
  D#m
place
        C#        F#                 A#m       D#m
And as far as we know, we were way before our time
    C#              F#                  A#m
As bold as we were blind, just another perfect
  D#m
mistake
  C#              G#m          F#              C#
Another bridge to take, on the way of letting go

Chorus:
                F#
This ain't good-bye
              G#m        D#m
This is just where love goes
      B                  F#
When words aren't warm enough
    G#m           D#m
To keep away the cold
   C#
Oh no
                F#
This ain't goodbye
          G#m            D#m
It's not where our story ends
        B                F#
But I know you can't be mine
        G#m               D#m C#
Not the way you've always been
    D#m    C#        F#sus4
As long as we've got time
                      F# G#m D#m
Then this ain't good-bye
   C#                  F# G#m D#mC#
Oh no this ain't good-bye

We were stars up in the sunlit sky
No one else could see
Neither of us thought to ever ask why
It wasn't meant to be
Maybe we were way too high
To ever understand
Baby, we were victims of all, all the foolish plans
We began to divide

Chorus:
But this ain't goodbye
This is just the way love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't good bye, oh-oh

Oh, no, this ain't goodbye
Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah,
nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah, this ain't goodbye

F#               A#m               D#m
You and I were friends from outer space
  C#           F#                  A#m
Afraid to let go, the only two who understood
       D#m
this place
       C#
And as far as we know

Chorus:
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye, oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
It's just the way love goes
But where's that woman now, to keep away the cold?
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
Oh no, this ain't
Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah,
nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah, don't say goodbye
