The 77s
Don’t Say Goodbye (Demo)
[Verse 1]
You say you're leavin'
Where are you goin', baby?
No guarantee, destination unknown
You say you're at the point where every single place
Every look on every face makes you wanna cry
And everything you see when you walk in a room
Is straight out of a bad dream, but the dream came true
And now you wanna die
Oh, no, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
You never hear birds singing
([?])
Your mind's in winter
(Spring is [?])
But you're the very best thing that ever happened to me, so don't go
'Cause baby, I love you so

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break)
[Verse 2]
I beg your pardon
But who promised you a garden?
(East of Eden)
You're arrogant to presuppose there's bliss
(Somewhere over the abyss)
You bet your life and hoped to find a different place
A different world at a different pace
Don't make a brand-new start
'Cause who you are and what you've been is what you'll bring
To every place and everything
Without a change of heart
More of the same thing, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break)
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break without you)
Oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
There's someone calling you home
(Don't say goodbye)
Someone you don't even know
(Don't say goodbye)
Who is that calling you, calling you?
Find out before you go
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(So much you don't know, baby)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
([?])
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(Don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Hey
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Don't say goodbye
Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, baby
Don't say it, baby
Oh, whoo
Hey
Baby, oh
