Intro: Am   C   Am   C   Am   C   G   D 
 
 
Verse:
 
           Am                C 
There's so much that I would say 
           Am               C 
If I could see you one last time. 
          Am 
But now I can't 
                 C 
cause you're not here 
           G      D 
But you're Always on my mind. 
            Am                C 
When I look up And you're not there 
       Am           C 
When I lie awake at night 
          Am                  G 
All these things I ask myself 
 D           F 
I don't know why. 
 
 
 
                        C 
(When it's the first time) 
When it's the first time 
                  G 
That you'll never see someone again 
               D 
(When it's the last time) 
When it's the last time 
            F 
You weren't ready for it to end. 
        C 
(When a light leaves you) 
When a light leaves you 
           G              
Standing alone there in the dark. 
                D 
(It's never easy) They're never easy 
         F                           Am C Am C 
But sometimes Goodbyes are so hard. 
                 Am C Am 
(They're so hard) 
 
 
 
Verse 2:
 
       Am                    C 
I look ahead, but can't move on 
       Am               C 
I look back but I can't stay. 
       Am               C 
And I keep trying to be strong 
         G         D 
But this pain, it won't go away. 
           Am                C 
And I hope this will heal in time 
              Am         C 
Cause I can't go on like this. 
           Am                   G 
And right now, I would give my life 
 D               F 
For one last kiss. 
 
 
 
(When it's the first time) 
When it's the first time 
That you'll never see someone again 
(When it's the last time) 
When it's the last time 
You weren't ready for it to end. 
(When a light leaves you) 
When a light leaves you 
Standing alone there in the dark. 
(It's never easy) They're never easy 
But sometimes Goodbyes are so hard. 
(They're so hard) 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
Am                 C 
You'll be there on my mind 
Am              C              
Standing in the sunshine. 
 
 
 
(When it's the first time) 
When it's the first time 
That you'll never see someone again 
(When it's the last time) 
When it's the last time 
You weren't ready for it to end. 
(When a light leaves you) 
When a light leaves you 
Standing alone there in the dark. 
(It's never easy) They're never easy 
But sometimes Goodbyes are so hard. 
(They're so hard)
