[Verse 1]
The Dtime for us to Gsay goodGmbye is Dnear
The Dday I hoped would Anever come is Bmhere
Though Dmany hearts are Abroken we must Bmsomehow Acarry Gon
Cause I Dthink you're gonna Amiss me when I'm Dgone
[Verse 2]
I Dthought my life was Gover Gmwhen we Dmet
So Dlittle to reGmember, Bmso much to Aforget
Though Dit was you who Asaw me through the Bmdarkness Ato the Gdawn
Still I Dthink you're gonna Amiss me when I'm Dgone
[Bridge]
I'm a Bmmodest man
And it Ghurts me to Dsay these things to Bmyou
But Gafter all we've Dbeen through it's the Bmleast that I can Ado
[Verse 3]
So inDstead of just goodGbye I'll Gmsay so Dlong
And as Dfor the light by which you Gsee me Gmleave it Aon
I'm a Dbetter man than I Gwas before
Knowing Bmyou has Amade me Gstrong
And I Bmsure am going to Amiss you when I'm Dgone
Yes I Bmsure am going to Amiss you when I'm Dgone
