Michael W Smith - How To Say Goodbye

this is a very simple version of the song . i’m sure there’s someone out there with
minors and major sevenths and all that good stuff , but this works , so . . . it’s what
i wrote . enjoy! : )

intro :

C F C Am F G C

verse 1 –

C F C
tell me when the time we had slipped away
Am C
tomorrow turned to yesterday
G F
and i don’t know how .
C F C
tell me what could stop this river of tears
Am F G C
it’s been building up for years , for this moment now .

chorus –

Am F C G
here i stand , arms open wide
C F C G
i’ve held you close , kept you safe ’til you could fly .
C F C
tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
Am F G C
and how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye .

verse 2 –

C F C
tell me why , why does following your dreams
Am C
take you far away from me?
G F
and i knew that it would .
C F C
tell me how to fill the space you left behind
Am F
and how to laugh instead of cry
G C
and how to say goodbye .

repeat chorus

and that’s it! have fun!
