Capo 1st
[Verse]
C
Can't tell where the sky begins
And the water ends
No clouds to hide the sun
F
Waves playing me
A symphony upon the sand
C
As I lay drifting on the ocean
G
With this bottle in my hand
C
Sat down on the boardwalk
For a little while
Your memory, my company
F
Something 'bout this place
Had a way to make you smile
C G
You always loved this island breeze
F
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle
C
Still can't blow away the sorrow
F C
That tomorrow you won't be here with me
F
So I raise it up and toast
C
The day we met and won't forget
G
The way you love me
F G
The amazing way you love me
[Chorus]
F C
It's bittersweet, you see
F C
You're not here but I can feel you
Am C F G
Every memory is on the tip of my tongue
Am F
Close my eyes, see your face
C F
Hold on tight to yesterday
C G
Praying when I wake, it was just a dream
F C
It's bittersweet
[Verse]
C
Doctor said there's nothing we can do
Took my hand, said take me home
F
To the only place with half a chance
To take the pain away
C G
Make me feel alive before I go
F
You said life is only borrowed
C
So let's wash away our sorrow
F C
That tomorrow I won't be here with you
F C
Go and live your life with no regrets
G
And don't forget how much I love you
F G
I love you
[Chorus]
F C
It's bittersweet, you see
F C
You're not here but I can feel you
Am C F G
Every memory is on the tip of my tongue
Am F
Close my eyes, see your face
C F
Hold on tight to yesterday
G
Praying when I wake, it was just a dream
F C
It's bittersweet
[Bridge]
Am G C Am
I brought you back just like you wanted
G C
So you don't ever have to leave
Am G C
When I poured you 'cross the southern sky
F C
I couldn't help but to cry
G
I know you finally got your wings
G G F C G
Bitter, bittersweet
Am F G
Bittersweet,
Am F C G
Am F G
Ooooooooooooh
[Outro]
F
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle
C
Still can't blow away the sorrow
F C
That tomorrow you won't be here with me
F
So I raise it up and toast
C
The day we met and won't forget
G
The way you love me
F Fm
The amazing way you love me
C
It's bittersweet
