N.C.
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: RAYE]
C This is a sad song
E Though it feels happy
Fmaj7 It is not happy at all
A Dm7In fact, it makes me so, so sad to sing this song
Fm Cmaj7 But I'll sing it for you anyway
GThis song is called "Goodbye Henry."
CAnd I wrote it 'bout a boy
C A very lovely boy
Fmaj7And his name isn't even Henry
ABut I'm just tryna be respectful
Dm7We don't talk anymore
FmHe could be next-door and I wouldn't even know
Cmaj7In another life we could have made it
GBut in this one, well, we let go
[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
CAnd I remember last time I seen him
EIt was a devastating day
Fmaj7At the railway tavern my local
A7And we had no words to say
DmSo I sipped my gin in silence
FmAnd I kissed the man goodbye
Cmaj7And we dried each other's tears
GAnd I told him, "Henry
[Chorus: RAYE]
COh, I wish you only love (Only love)
EAnd happiness (Happiness)"
Fmaj7When I'm swallowing tears
A7As I'm watching you drive away
Dm7Through my window
FmI don't want you to go
Cmaj7 GHow could I baby? Oh-oh (I miss you so)
CI Do hope you'll try your best (Try)
EAnd you'll drink a little less
Fmaj7Let's pretend, Henry
A7Maybe one day we could try again
Dm7 FmDon't forget me (Don't forget me) or regret me (Regret me)
CI tell him "Goodbye, Henry"
G C I told you this was a sad song
[Verse 2: RAYE]
E I did try to warn you, in case you relate
Fmaj7 Am In case your sorry heart is also breaking
Dm7 FmIn case you're driving to work and every bloody left turn you take
CJust so happens to be down memory lane
GAnd it's that pain, the aching kind
[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
CI had high hopes for me and Henry
EI really did
Fmaj7 A7In another life I'd wear his ring, and we'd have three beautiful children
Dm7And it hurts to never see him
FmBut the world still turns 'round
Cmaj7 GSo I squeezed his lovely hand so tight, and I told him
[Chorus: RAYE]
C"Oh, I wish you only love (Only love)
EAnd happiness (Happiness)"
Fmaj7When I'm swallowing tears
A7As I'm watching you drive away
Dm7Through my window
FmI don't want you to go
Cmaj7 GHow could I, baby? Oh-oh (I miss you so)
CI Do hope you'll try your best
EAnd you'll drink a little less
Fmaj7And who knows, Henry?
A7Maybe one day we could try again
Dm7 FmDon't forget me (Don't forget me) or regret me (Regret me)
C GI tell him, "Goodbye, Henry"
C EI told you this was a sad song
[Interlude: RAYE]
Fmaj7 But it is my pleasure
A Dm7 Fm To say that all the way from Memphis, Tennessee
CPut your hands together (Put your hands)
CLadies and gentlemen
G Cmaj7For Al Green
[Bridge: Al Green, RAYE]
EHello, how are you? I hope you're well
Fmaj7 A7 It's nice to be on a microphone with a story to tell
Dm7 I think of all the memories
Fm Some bitter, some sweet
C G The people I've loved, and the people I'll never get to greet
CThese heartaches don't get easier (Easier)
EPains of losing love (Losing love)
Fmaj7Time will help the healing
A7And Christ that's up above
Dm7 FmSometimes in life we have to say goodbye
CTears falling from our eyes
GI pray it won't hurt like it does tonight
[Chorus: RAYE, Al Green]
N.C. C
As I wish 'em only love
EHappiness
A7I'm swallowing tears
Yeah, I (As I'm watching you drive away)
Dm7Through my window (Yeah, yeah)
FmI don't want you to go
C AbHow could I, baby? Oh-oh (Oh)
DbI Do hope you'll try your best
F Gbmaj7And you'll drink a little less (And who knows, Henry?)
Bb7That maybe one day we could try again
Ebm7 GbmDon't forget me (Forget me) or regret me (Regret me, regret me)
Ebm7 Fm7 Gb A D Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, lo-lo-lo-lo-love
DI hope (You're happy now)
Gmaj7Wherever he is (Feeling better now)
He's happy, he's safe
B7And he's oh so over this, though I'm (I said)
Em7 Gm7 Still in love, still in love, still in love with him (Oh)
Em7 Gbm G Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget (My, my, my)
Bb EbDa-dum-da-dum, oh I (I hope) hope
Abmaj7(Wherever he is) Ooh, I do

Abm(Still in love, still in love, still in love with him) I may be
Fm7 Gm7 Ab A EStill, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, love, love tonight
[Outro: RAYE]
Ebm Ab7And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes
Dbm Sometimes love sticks around
Bm7 And sometimes love hits the road
A C And as I watch Henry drive out of my life
Dbm7 Abm7 Gbm7 I warned you, dear listener, didn't I?
BWhen I told you this is a sad, sad, sad song
Emaj7Drop it here
Hahaha, Brooksy can't see me
