I put the locket you gave me in a shoe box
Em
With all my favorite high school pictures in a ziplock
C Em
So when I think about myself and all that I'm not
Am
Thanks for the extra cash
C
Please take good care of dad
Am D
I promise you I'll call along the way
G D G
Mama, don't you cry
Em D G
I'm movin' on but know this ain't goodbye
C G D
We might be miles apart, I'll carry you in my heart
Am D
I'll send you kisses on the phone but mama
G
I'm leaving home
G
In only four months I'll be comin' home for Christmas
Em
I bet that all the time will fly, you know how it does
C Em
Maybe I'll go and find a nice guy and fall in love
Am
I'll do my best to make you proud
C
Keep my room safe for now
Am D
Just in case these big dreams don't work out
Am
We knew this day would come
G
And as bad as you wanna hold on
Am C
We both know it's time to let go
(To let go)
