FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
It's that time of year when my eyes are misting all day long
G minorGm FF C majorC
And the bones that hold my mind are prone to breaking
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
And the Carolina coast feels like a friend that once was close
G minorGm FF C majorC
Or a feeling from a dream I could not shake

So I am packing all my things into the smallest bag I have
Bb majorBb FF DmDm
And I am hoping that the salty air can cure just like my mama said
Bb majorBb FF DmDm
And reading Rumi talk of God like he always was a friend

FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
The whole way there, I was worried about how you would see me
G minorGm FF C majorC
Yeah I never quite got used to this here body
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
But the sun was shining bright and casting fairies on the sea
G minorGm FF C majorC
And so I never even thought, once, to say sorry

I hope that is how I will remember you

Verse 3:
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
There were three new words tied into the rope that we had found
G minorGm FF C majorC
As the day began to spread across our shores
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
You looked upon the world as if it all was hallowed ground
G minorGm FF C majorC
And the future was a dream I could ignore

So I am taking all my bags and throwing them into the sea
