G5
I put the locket you gave me in a shoe box
           E5
With all my favorite high school pictures in a ziplock
           C5                             E5
So when I think about myself and all that I'm not
        A5
Thanks for the extra cash
        C5
Please take good care of dad
     A5                           D5
I promise you I'll call along the way

G5      D5         G5
Mama, don't you cry
                  E5         D5     G5
I'm movin' on but know this ain't goodbye
              C5                      G5          D5
We might be miles apart, I'll carry you in my heart
               A5                      D5
I'll send you kisses on the phone but mama
             G5
I'm leaving home

          G5
In only four months I'll be comin' home for Christmas
   E5
I bet that all the time will fly, you know how it does
           C5                           E5
Maybe I'll go and find a nice guy and fall in love
          A5
I'll do my best to make you proud
         C5
Keep my room safe for now
        A5                              D5
Just in case these big dreams don't work out

A5
We knew this day would come
     G5
And as bad as you wanna hold on
A5                           C5
We both know it's time to let go
(To let go)
