[Intro]
F C Am

[Verse 1]
F             C              Am
  If I don't wake tomorrow morning
                   C/B    C      F
Empty shoes on the side  of the hall
           C                E
And if my number, it stops calling
Picture frames hanging 
           F
up by the door
            C
You try to reach right in
      E             Am         C/B
And hold on to the little things
      C     F        C
But  they slip away.
           E
But it's okay

[Chorus]
                          F     C Am
'Cause I had a hell of a time.
                    C/B    C 
Know that I had the time  of 
    F   C E
my life.
                    F
So remember me and smile
           C            
All of the souls heading
      Am          C/B
 back home down a one-way
Am
road
C/B    F
So it goes
C                   E
 Until the caskets close

[Verse 2]
F            C                Am
 And if you get that sinking feeling
                   C/B    C  F
Thinking about the time  we shared
          C                    E
I hope it helps you with your healing
                        F
Knowing that I wasn't scared
             C
I savored everything
    Am        C/B        Am
I pressed the world  up against
 my skin
       F               C
I was lucky    I guess.
                     E
I always found the beauty
 in the mess

[Pre-Chorus]
                F   
You gotta hold on to 
                   C
the little things.
                  E      
But you gotta let go just
          Am
 a little bit
       C/B     C   F      
When another  one goes one 
                 C
will find their wings
Then they'll find their way
  E                       Am
 home, little take and give
           F            
Into the unknown and the
           C
 changing tides
             Am      
The sun sets low on an 
   C/B     Am
endless  sky
                  F  
So much we don't know,
                C
 I don't know why
             E
But I'll be fine

'Cause I had a hell of a time.
  C Am
                    C/B 
Know that I had the time
   C     F   C E
  of my life.
                    F
So remember me and smile

C                   E
 Until the caskets close

[Verse 3]
F                       C
 Raise the toast as the curtains
 close
         E               Am
And the sunset fades to black
         F                 C
So the story goes, we all walk 
with ghosts
     E              Am  C/B C
No one-way tickets back.
     F                C
The casualties of our memories
      E                      Am
That slip right through the cracks
         F              
All the inside jokes and 
      C
the times we spoke
           E            Am
Will stay frozen in the past

[Pre-Chorus]
                F       
You gotta hold on to the
              C
 little things.
                  E      
But you gotta let go just
              Am
 a little bit.
                     F  
I guess we'll never know 
                      C
what tomorrow brings.
                          E   
But just know you're not alone
                   Am
 in the thick of it.
                F       
I know it feels cold when 
               C
the caskets close
          E                  Am
Stories untold on a headstone
                    F                C
For those who grow old it'll fly by..
                    E
In the blink of an eye

[Chorus]
So we'll have a hell 
       F     C Am
of a time.
                         C/B 
Know that we'll have the time
      C   F     C E
  of our lives.
                    F
So remember us and smile
            C           
All of the souls heading 
      Am           C/B
back home down a one-way
Am
road
        F  C
So it goes..
                   E
Until the caskets close

[Chorus]
                           F   C Am
So we'll have a hell of a time.
                         C/B 
Know that we'll have the time 
      C   F     C E
 of our lives.
                    F
So remember us and smile
            C           
All of the souls heading
