Verse 1:
Bm
It was a month since he passed, maybe less
D
And no one knew what to do, we were such a mess
Bm D
We were texting, we were calling, we were checking in
(D)
We said we ought to play a show in honor of our friend
Em
Well, now that show’s finally here, it’s tonight
D
Supposed to go to the bowl, get on stage, dim the lights
Em
With our friends and our family, in his name, celebrate
F#7
There’s no way that I’ll be ready to get back up on that stage
Bm9
Can’t remember if I’ve cancelled any show
D
But I think about what I’m supposed to do and I don’t know
Bm9
‘Cause I think about not doing it the same way as before
D
And it makes me wanna puke my fucking guts out on the floor
Em
We rehearsed it for a month, I’m not worried ‘bout the set
D
I get tackled by the grief at times that I would least expect
Em
I know what I should be doing when I’m singing but instead
F#7
We’ll be playing through a song and I’d remember in my head
Chorus:
G Bm
Sometimes, sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
A
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Em
Over and over and over again
G Bm
Sometimes, sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
A
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Em
Over and over and over again
Verse 2:
Bm9
What they saying, I’m not raw? What the fuck you take me for?
D
All ‘a sudden you hear what I’ve said a hundred ways before?
Bm9
I’ve been pushed, I’ve been trapped,
Bm9
drug myself through hell and back,
D
And fallen flat, and had the balls to start it all again
D
from scratch
Em
“How do you feel?” “How you doin’?” “How’d the show go?”
D
Am I insane to say the truth is that I don’t know?
Em
My body aches, head’s spinnin’, this is all wrong
F#7
I almost lost it in middle of a couple songs
Bridge:
G+7 (F#7)
And everybody that I talk to is like,
Bm
“Wow, must be really hard to figure what to do now.”
A
Well, thank you genius! You think it’ll be a challenge?
Em
Only my life’s work hangin’ in the fuckin’ balance
G+7 (F#7)
And all I wanted was to get a little bit of closure
Bm
And every step I took I looked, it wasn’t any closer
A
‘Cause sometimes when you say goodbye, yeah you say it
Em7
Over and over and over and over
Chorus:
G Bm
Sometimes, sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
A
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Em
Over and over and over again

Sometimes, sometimes you don’t say goodbye once

Over and over and over again
