F#m    D             A    E
I was sitting on my doorstep,
F#m             D                A         E   F#m
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
        D           A  E
But I knew I had to do it,
     D
And he wouldn't understand,

So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break
But when you're standin' at a crossroad
There's a choice you gotta make

Chorus:
                            A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                            E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                     D
To get to the other side,
                             A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                               E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with
                  D
the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.

I know there's a blue horizon
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
(Waiting for me)
Getting there means leavin' things behind
Sometimes life's so bittersweet

Chorus

  D
(Time) Time heals,
A
The wounds that you feel,
     C          D
Somehow, right now.

Chorus

I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things
I've loved to get to the other side
Starts with goodbye
Like falling when you're trying to fly
It's sad, but sometimes movin' on
with the rest of your life (Yeah)
Starts with goodbye
