   G                                                   - Bm

1.    As I sit in this smoky room,           the night about to end,

F                                                                         C

    I pass my time with strangers, but this bottle's my only friend.

G                                                                 - Bm

    Remember when we used to park on     Butler Street out in the dark,

F                                                     

    remember when we lost the keys and

C

    you lost more than that in my back seat, believe it.

G                                  

    Remember how we used to talk about

Bm                                                              F  C        F  C

    busting out, we'd break their hearts, together - forever.

 

            G                                   Bm

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye,

  C                                                     Cm

you and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end.

  G                                 Bm

Say goodbye, never say goodbye,

  C                                                Cm                                         G 

holding on, we’ve got to try, holding on to never say goodbye.

2.     Remember days of skipping school, racing cars and being cool,

               F                                    - C

    with a six pack and a radio, we           didn't need no place to go.

G                                                              Bm

    Remember at the prom that night, you and me we had a fight,

                 F

    but the band they played our favorite song and

C

    I held you in my arms so strong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            G

    We danced so close, we danced so slow,

                Bm                                       F  C         F  C

    and I swore I'd never let you go, together - forever.

 

            G                                   Bm

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye,

  C                                                     Cm

you and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end.

  G                                 Bm

Say goodbye, never say goodbye,

  C                                          Cm                                         G 

holding on, we got to try, holding on to never say goodbye.
