[Intro]

Am  C  F  F


[Verse 1]

Am            C
  My eyes are open wide
F
By the way, I made it through the day
Am            C
  I watch the world outside
F
By the way, I'm leaving out today


[Pre-Chorus]

G            Am                        F
  I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
     C              G/B        G
Said why you always running in place
         Am                   D
Even the man in the moon disappeared

Somewhere in the stratosphere


[Chorus]

Am        C               D
  Tell my mother, tell my father
              F
I've done the best I can
Am             C
  To make them realize
        D
This is my life
            F
I hope they understand
Am        C               D
  I'm not angry, I'm just saying
F
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance


[Verse 2]

Am                 C
  Please don't cry one tear for me
    F
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
Am           C
  This is my one and only voice
   F
So listen close, it's only for today


[Pre-Chorus]

G            Am                        F
  I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
     C              G/B        G
Said why you always running in place
         Am                   D
Even the man in the moon disappeared

Somewhere in the stratosphere


[Chorus]

Am        C               D
  Tell my mother, tell my father
              F
I've done the best I can
Am             C
  To make them realize
        D
This is my life
            F
I hope they understand
Am        C               D
  I'm not angry, I'm just saying
F                                   D F Am G
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance


[Interlude]

D F Am G
         Here is my chance
D F Am G
         This is my chance


[Chorus]

Am        C               D
  Tell my mother, tell my father
              F
I've done the best I can
Am             C
  To make them realize
        D
This is my life
            F
I hope they understand
Am        C                D
  I'm not angry, I'm just saying
F
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance


[Outro]

Am                     D
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
F
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
