The key's in the mail box the u-haul is loaded 
                  B5         E5              A5 
This is the last time we'll call this place home 
     D5                   G5              E5 
The cat's in a cage to leave at your mother's 
           G5          E5              A5        D5 
I'll be halfway to Ashville when you wake up alone,

It's been a while since I've seen Carolina  
                 B5      E5            A5 
It always was beautiful this time of year 
    D5                      G5          E5 
And if this is the end of life as we knew it 
G5                   A5             D5 
You won't find me living around here 


D5       G5          D5       G5               D5         E5        A5 
I love life as we knew it, I still can't believe we threw it away, 
 D5                          E5     D5          G5        A5     D5 
Goodbye that's al there is, to it life as we knew it ended today,

I'll leave a number if you need to reach me 
             B5          E5         A5 
You always called when I had to be gone 
D5            G5          E5     D5         G5             A5     D5 
I know that here in my heart life as we knew it still lives on.
