[Verse]
EOh, the days when we werC#me younger
AOh, the Edays when we werBe free
EAll the roads that we woC#muld wander
AAll the Eplaces that we'd Bsee
EBut now those days have C#mlong been over
ATime has Egone and taken Bthem all away
EAnd here I stand with my C#mown sister
AWaiting Efor to see her oBn her way
[Chorus]
This is C#mgoodbye
You've been my whole Alife
And when yEou're gone I don't know how I can livBe
But alwaC#mys know
That if you miss me, AI'll be here
If you neeEd me, I'll be anywhere you areB  
Good luck on youEr own
[Verse]
EWell darkness came and bC#mroke the armor
AOf the yEouth that kept uBs shrouded in its cheer
EBut you were strong just C#mlike our mother
AStrong eEnough to pull me Bthrough my tears
EAnd still I smile every C#mmorning
AWhen I rEise and see you Bsleepng in the hay
EYour laughter rids me of C#mmy sorrows
AYou're tEhe one who bringBs the joy to this old place
[Chorus]
This is C#mgoodbye
You've been my whole Alife
And when yEou're gone I don't know how I can livBe
But alwaC#mys know
That if you miss me, AI'll be here
If you neeEd me, I'll be anywhere you areB  
Good luck on youEr own
[Verse]
EThe time has come for yoC#mu to leave here
AAnd find Eyour way out in Bthe world
EAnd even though I'll misC#ms you deerly
AI hope yEou find what youB're looking for
EIf you find yourself in C#mtrouble
AIf your Elife becomes a lBife it shouldn't be
EWe will keep our front dC#moor open
AYou're aElways welcome wiBth your family
[Chorus]
This is C#mgoodbye
You've been my whole Alife
And when yEou're gone I don't know how I can livBe
But alwaC#mys know
That if you miss me, AI'll be here
