(Gm)No need to say good bye.

(Bb)Just be cause ev ’ry thing’s chang (F)gin ing does n’t mean it’s nev (Gm7)er been this way be fore.

But (Bb)All you can do is try to know who your friends does are as (Gm7)you head off to the war.

(F)Pick a star on (F)the dark ho ri strong zon and (Bb)fol low (F)fore the light.

You’ll (Bbmaj7)come back
