Chords for Chris Janson - Bye Mom (Lyrics)

[B] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ [B] Bye, Mom.
_ [E] That's what I said at [B] five years old, the first day of school.
_ [Em] Already then, [B] I thought [G#m] I was way too cool.
[F#] I thought I had [B] it figured out, [F#] and I didn't know a thing.
_ [B] Bye, Mom. _
Don't worry about me.
I'll see you at three at the bus stop.
And I know that you'll be right there to pick me up in the old truck.
[F#] _ [B] You know [F#] that's just the way it [G#m] is when you think you're [F#] grown,
but you're still a [E] kid.
And you don't know [B] you're somebody that somebody loves more than [F#] themself.
[B] And there's a beauty in the innocence [G#m] of not
knowing [F#] that the time they [E] spend is [B] more than one could ask for.
And that's a special kind of love.
And it's only there for a lifetime, and it's [F#] gone.
_ [B] And it's bye, Mom. _
You can drop me off down the block around the corner square.
_ [E] All my [B] buddies are waiting [G#m] for me just over [F#] there.
I'll see [E] you later [B] on.
[F#] _ [B] Bye, Mom. _
It's a cap and a [F#] gown in a brand new [G#m] town eight hours away.
Don't cry.
I'll [F#] be OK.
[B] You know [F#] that's just the way it [G#m] is when you think you're [B] grown,
but you're still a [E] kid.
And [B] you don't know you're somebody [E] that somebody [B] loves [F#] more than [B] themself.
And there's a beauty in the innocence [G#m] of not
knowing [F#] that the time they [B] spend is more than one could ask for.
And that's a special kind of love.
And it's only there for a lifetime, [F#] and it's gone.
_ [B] And it's bye, Mom.
[F#] _
_ [G#m] _ _ [G#] You [E] _ [B] _
can drop me off [F#] down _ the block around the [B] corner square.
And bye, Mom.
I [F#] sang a million [G#m] mornings at the Bryant Street [F#] Baptist Church.
[E] And bye, Mom.
I [B] waited hours and [E] hours till she got [F#] off of work.
[B] And bye, Mom.
I [F#] stood and cried and [G#m] later rose onto a grave.
[E] And bye, Mom were the [B] last words that I [F#] spoke before I
sang amazing grace.
[B] You know that's just the way it [G#m] is when you're all grown [B] up,
but you're still a [E] kid.
And you realize [B] you're somebody that somebody
loves [F#] more than themselves.
[B] And there's a beauty [F#] in the [G#m] innocence of not
knowing [B] that the time they [E] spend is more than [B] one could ask for.
And that's a special [F#] kind of love.
[E] And it's only [B] there for a lifetime, [F#] and it's gone.
_ _ [B] It's only there for a lifetime, [F#] and it's gone.
_ [B] And it's bye, [F#] Mom.
[B] _ [G#m] _ [B] Yeah.
Bye, Mom.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
