[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
      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

[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
   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
[Refrain]
      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

Toge-ther, fore - ver

Say goodbye, never say goodbye

Holdin' on - we've gotta try 
Dm                          A            C#m

Yeah yeah
