C Am
Things are changing
G
It seems strange and
F C
I need to figure this out
Am
You've got your life
G
I got mine
F Am
But you're all I cared about
G
Yesterday we were laughing
C
Today I'm left here asking
Dm
Where has all the time gone now
F
I'm left alone somehow
Dm
Growing up and getting older
F
I don't want to believe it's over

Don't say goodbye

Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight

This time would come for me and you
Dm
Don't say anything tonight
F C
If you're gonna say goodbye
(G F Am G)
C Am
Do you remember
G
In December
F C
How we swore we'd never change
Am
Even though you're leaving
G
That our feelings
F Am
Would always stay the same
G F
I wish we could be laughing
C
Instead I'm standing here asking
Dm
Do we have to end this now
F
Can we make it last somehow
Dm
We both know what we've gotta say, not today
F
Cause I don't wanna leave this way
