Bye Bye Tab

by Mariah Carey


Capo: 3rd fret

                              
This is for my people who just lost somebody
                                
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
                    
Put your hand way up high
                
We will never say bye (no, no, no)



                              
Mamas, Daddas, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
                          
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
                      
Lift your head to the sky
                       
'Cause we will never say bye


           
As a child, there were them times
                        
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
                                        
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times
                         
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
                 
But I'm glad we talked through
                              
All them grown folk things separation brings
     
You never let me know it
     
You never let it show
                            
Because you loved me, and obviously
                 
There's so much more left to say
                                  
If you were with me today face to face



Chorus:
                             
I never knew I could hurt like this
           
And everyday life goes on

I wish that I could talk to you for awhile

Miss you but I try not to cry
            
As time goes by
                                          
And it's true that you've reached a better place
                  
Still I'd give the world to see your face

And be right here next to you

But it's like you're gone too soon
                            
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye


                        
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
                        
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
                    
Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye


                                     
And you never got a chance to see how good I've done
                                    
And you never got to see me back at number one
                              
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
                                 
And I wish we could've spent the holidays together
                                  
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
                                       
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
                                       
I thought you were so strong you'd make it through whatever
                                   
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever



Chorus:
                             
I never knew I could hurt like this
           
And everyday life goes on

I wish that I could talk to you for awhile

Miss you but I try not to cry
            
As time goes by
                                          
And it's true that you've reached a better place
                  
Still I'd give the world to see your face

And be right here next to you

But it's like you're gone too soon
                            
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye


                        
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
                        
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
                    
Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye
