A 
As I sit in this smoky 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 
C#m 
On Butler Street out in the dark, 
G 
Remember when we lost the keys 
     D 
and you lost more than that in my backseat. Believe it. 
A 
Remember when we used to talk 
       C#m 
about busting out - we'd break their hearts 
   G  D/F#    G  D/F# 
Together Â  forever. 
  
       A                  C#m 
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye 
D/E 
You and me and my old friends 
Dm/E 
Hoping it would never end 
A                   C#m 
say goodbye, never say goodbye, 
D/E 
holdin' on - we got to try 
Dm/E 
holdin' on to never say goodbye.  
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. 
    A 
We danced so close, we danced so slow, 
            C#m 
and I swore I'd never let you go 
   G  D/F#   G  D/F# 
Together Â forever. 
     
       A                  C#m 
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye 
D/E 
You and me and my old friends 
Dm/E 
Hoping it would never end 
A                   C#m 
say goodbye, never say goodbye, 
D/E 
holdin' on - we got to try 
Dm/E 
holdin' on to never say goodbye.  

F    G/A   A 
Oh,  I      guess you'd say we used to talk 
       C#m 
About busting out we'd break their hearts 
   G  D/F#     G  D/F# 
Together Â   forever. 
  
       A                 C#m 
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye 
D/E 
You and me and my old friends 
Dm/E 
Hoping it would never end 
 A                 C#m 
say goodbye, never say goodbye, 
D/E 
holdin' on - we got to try 
Dm/E                          A       C#m7 
holdin' on to never say good bye-ey-ey-eye.
