[Verse]
A5I never had a chance to C5say what I needed to sayF5  
Cause when you tA5ook your last breath
I was hG5igh – I was running awayD5  
You'd always cA5all me on the phone but I'd nC5ever pick up
I never wF5anted you to know I was running out of luck
You dA5idn't walk out – You G5didn't give up on D5me

So F5even if you're gone then I'm not giving up on D5you
[Chorus]
We never have to A5say goodbyeG5  
Cause I can feel you from the F5afterlife
And I just want to A5say that every single G5day
You make me F5take a deeper look insideD5  
If everything you A5said is trueG5  
Then I will never have to F5call on you
In every single A5way – You're with me every G5day
So we F5never have to say
We never have to say D5goodbye

I A5didn't have the strenght that I C5needed at the end of the F5day
Cause I was A5poppin' every pill the only G5one that I was foolin' was D5me
You always A5loved me when I couldn't even C5love myself
No you never F5turned away when I was begging for help
I A5should've said thanks for neG5ver giving up on D5me
[Pre-Chorus]
So F5even if you're gone then I'm not giving up on D5you
[Chorus]
We never have to A5say goodbyeG5  
Cause I can feel you from the F5afterlife
And I just want to A5say that every single G5day
You make me F5take a deeper look insideD5  
If everything you A5said is trueG5  
Then I will never have to F5call on you
In every single A5way – You're with me every G5day
So we F5never have to say
We never have to say D5goodbye

F5I can hear your voice when I G5walk through the pain
You A5showed me how to live, showed me C5that I could change
I cF5an feel you catcCh me when I fall aD5way

A5 C5 F5

I never had a chance to say what I needed to say

Cause when you took your last breath

G5 D5

I was high – I was running away

You'd always call me on the phone but I'd never pick up

I never wanted you to know I was running out of luck

So even if you're gone then I'm not giving up on you

We never have to say goodbye

Cause I can feel you from the afterlife

A5 G5

And I just want to say that every single day

F5 D5

You make me take a deeper look inside

A5 G5

If everything you said is true

Then I will never have to call on you

A5 G5

In every single way – You're with me every day

So we never have to say

We never have to say goodbye

We never have to say goodbye

[Verse]

A5 C5 F5

I didn't have the strenght that I needed at the end of the day

Cause I was poppin' every pill the only one that I was foolin' was me

No you never turned away when I was begging for help

I should've said thanks for never giving up on me

[Pre-Chorus]

So even if you're gone then I'm not giving up on you

I can feel you catch me when I fall away

A5 G5

We never have to say goodbye

Cause I can feel you from the afterlife

A5 G5

And I just want to say that every single day

F5 D5

You make me take a deeper look inside
