SAY GOODBYE - Chris Brown
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Submitted: August 5th 2010
Last Updated: August 12th 2010
Tabbed by: Wayne S
Tuning: Standard EADGBE
Capo: 1
Chords:
Am: 002210
F: 133211
C: 032010
G: 320033 or 355433
Dm: 000231 (only used in Intro)
Chord in brackets (eg. the Am above "I swear it'll only take..") mean either:
- The chord is continued from the end of the previous line and in the same bar
- It is above "secondary" lyrics, eg. when lyrics overlap like the end of the hook
I KNOW" and start of the chorus "THERE'S never a right time...". By secondary I
mean the less important chord.
In the given example, the lyrics in brackets overlap, but the start of the chorus is more
important than the end of the hook.
Note: The timing for the intro was very hard to represent in this tab. Hopefully if you know
the song well enough, you might be able to recognise where to sing. I tried to do it for a
few of the points but as I said, it was quite challenging.
Basically the number (eg. [1]) is supposed to be aligned with the note you pluck. That [1]
is also put above the bit of the song you're supposed to sing when that note is plucked (or
relatively close to that lyric).
Please leave any comments/ratings/corrections/suggestions.

[C] The other side of the door
When you're [G]walking out, talk about it
[Am] Everything I tried to remember to [F]say
[(F)]Just went out my head
[C] So I'ma do the best I can
to [G]get you to understand
'cause I [(Am)]know
[Chorus]:
[Am]There's never a right time to [F]say goodbye
But I gotta make the [C]first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start [G]hating me
Cause I really don't [Am]feel the way
[(Am)]I once felt about you
[F] Girl it's not you, it's me
I[C] kinda gotta figure out what I nee[G]d (oh)
There's [Am]never a right time to [F]say goodbye
But we [C]know that we gotta go
Our separate [G]ways
[Am] And I know it's hard but I gotta [F]do it,
[(F)]And it's killing me
Cause there's [C]never a right time
[G]Right time to say good[(Am)]bye
[Verse 2]:
[Am]Girl I know your heart is breaking
[F] And a thousand times I
[C]Found myself asking, "Why? Why?"
[G]Why am I taking so long to say this?
