[Verse 1]

A
  As I sit in this smokey room
C#m
   The night about to end
G
  I pass my time with strangers
         D
But this bottle's my only friend

A
  Remember when we used to park on
C#m
   Butler Street out in the dark
G
  Remember when we lost the keys
   D
And you lost more than that in my backseat, baby


[Pre-Chorus]

A
  Remember how we used to talk
     C#m
About busting out, we'd break their hearts
  G  D        G   D
Toge-ther, fore - ver


[Chorus]

      A                  C#m
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
D
You and me and my old friends
Dm
Hoping it would never end
A                  C#m
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
D
Holdin' on - we've gotta try
Dm
Holdin' on to never say goodbye


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

A
  Remember days of skipping school
C#m
Racing cars and being cool
       G
With a six pack and the radio
  D
We didn't need no place to go

A
  Remember at the prom that night
C#m
You and me, we had a fight
        G
But the band, they played our favorite song
     D
And I held you in my arms so strong


[Pre-Chorus]

   A
We danced so close, we danced so slow
       C#m
And I swore I'd never let you go
  G  D        G   D
Toge-ther, fore - ver


[Chorus]

      A                  C#m
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
D
You and me and my old friends
Dm
Hoping it would never end
A                  C#m
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
D
Holdin' on - we've gotta try
Dm
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

[Pre-chorus]

 G         A
Ooh, and I guess you'd say we used to talk
      C#m
About busting out, we'd break their hearts
  G  D        G   D
Toge-ther, fore - ver


[Chorus/Outro]

      A                  C#m
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
D
You and me and my old friends
Dm
Hoping it would never end
A                  C#m
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
D
Holdin' on - we've gotta try
Dm                          A            C#m
Holdin' on to never say goodbyyyyyyy-y-y-ye
    D      Dm
Yeah yeah
