Verse:
      C majorC
If it were up to him he'd wander out
    E minorEm
To the old strip mine behind his house
FF        C majorC
Lay down in the snow
  A minorAm        G+G
And wake up with his wife

      C majorC
If it were up to us he'd pass in his sleep
  E minorEm
We all agree though we'd never speak
FF            C majorC
About it, afraid of the words
      A minorAm        G+G
As if they hold the power of life

Chorus:
     FF     C majorC
But it's not up to us
  A minorAm      G+G
The die was cast long ago
    FF        C majorC
There's nothing left for us
    A minorAm
But to let
Go

Verse:
  C majorC
The first time that I ever saw
  E minorEm
My father drink was when his father's
FF       C majorC
Age became so clear
  A minorAm         G+G
It couldn't be waved away

       C majorC
And all these winter thoughts are dark and cold
   E minorEm
They break our hearts, make us feel old
   FF         C majorC
So we laugh a little too loud
  A minorAm        G+G
And force the smiles on our faces

Chorus:
     FF     C majorC
But it's not up to us
  A minorAm      G+G
The die was cast long ago
    FF        C majorC
There's nothing left for us
    A minorAm
But to let
 G+G
 Go

Bridge:
  E minorEm       FF
The call came on a summer morning
 C majorC
I boarded a plane that afternoon
  E minorEm      FF
We all knew the day was coming
      C majorC
But there's never a time
    G+G
That's not too soon

Verse:
      C majorC
We spent a week in august cleaning house
 E minorEm
A augmentedA lifetime's relics carried out
    FF        C majorC
Till a corkboard and a keg
   A minorAm      G+G
Were all that remained

       C majorC
But still the air is thick with memories
   E minorEm
They gather here like autumn leaves
    FF           C majorC
All the good times around the bar
    A minorAm               G+G
All the friends that passed through and left their mark

Chorus:
     FF     C majorC
And it's all up to us
  A minorAm      G+G
The die was cast long ago
    FF        C majorC
There's nothing left for us
        A minorAm
But to hold the memories
G+G
When we go

     FF     C majorC
And it's all up to us
  A minorAm      G+G
The die was cast long ago
    FF        C majorC
There's nothing left for us
         A minorAm
But to share the memories
G+G
When we go
