Verse 1:
Bbm7               Ab           Gb
Dad you're getting older and it shows
Bbm7                  Ab                    Gb
Wish I didn't see it, wish I didn't need to know
Bbm7             Ab                  Gb
Drowning out the memories 'cause you know
Bbm7                     Ab                       Gb
Time's such a killer collecting all the years you owe

Pre-chorus:
        Db         Ab            Gb
And I'm holding my breath in the backseat
              Db           Ab               Gb
I don't wanna think of our life when you're gone
         Db         Ab             Gb
When the sea meets the sun and you ask me
         Ebm                       Gb
Will you remember me for what I've become

Verse 2:
Bbm7              Ab             Gb
Mom, you tried to hide it, now I know
Bbm7                   Ab                    Gb
It's not just me who's afraid, I'm not a kid anymore
Bbm7                Ab                    Gb
Wish that you could hold me just a little longer
Bbm7                  Ab                                          Gb
But soon you'll be the ghost in my room you looked for when I was younger

Pre-chorus:
        Db         Ab           Gb
And I'm biting my tongue in the backseat
              Db           Ab               Gb
I don't wanna think of our life when you're gone
      Db           Ab                     Gb
And I know I'll be fine but it weighs on my mind
Ebm                     Gb
Every time I forget to miss you

Chorus:
  Db           Ab        Gb
I wanna grow old in a place that I know
     Db             Ab              Gb
In a house with the light you leave on
       Db                  Ab        Gb
And my room looks the same as the day that I left
        Db     Ab             Gb
Just in case I decide to come home
        Db               Ab            Gb
Hate to think of the day that I'll pick up the phone
           Bbm          Ab        Gb
And you're not there to answer my call
    Db        Ab             Gb
And how I'm supposed to move on when you're gone
       Bbm           Ab      Gb
Wasn't taught how to let you go

Instrumental:
   Bbm  Ab  Gb
   Bbm7 Ab  Gb

Chorus:
  Db           Ab        Gb
I wanna grow old in a place that I know
     Db             Ab              Gb
In a house with the light you leave on
       Db                  Ab        Gb
And my room looks the same as the day that I left
        Db     Ab             Gb
Just in case I decide to come home
        Db               Ab            Gb
Hate to think of the day that I'll pick up the phone
           Bbm          Ab        Gb
And you're not there to answer my call
    Db        Ab             Gb
And how I'm supposed to move on when you're gone
       Bbm           Ab      Gb
Wasn't taught how to let you go
      Bbm          Ab  Gb
Never taught me to let go
    Bbm        Ab              Gb
And I've never been good on my own
