F C G
When the kids are leaving home
F G C
And I'm walking round an empty house
F C G
Filled with love and memories
F G C
And a feeling that makes me so proud
Am Em7
Like ice in a glass we melted our days
F Dm
Our time slips away
[Chorus]
C F G C
If I can't say I did my best
F G C
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
F G Am
The simple things in life made us feel good
G F G C
As long as I can say I did the best I could
[Instrumental]
F G Am G F G C
[Verse 2]
F C G
Now the leaves are on the ground
F G C
And the games have packed into a draw
F C G
I look back and feel the love
F G C
That I was always searching for
Am Em7
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
F Dm
With both feet on the ground
[Chorus]
C F G C
If I can't say I did my best
F G C
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
F G Am
The simple things in life made us feel good
G F G C
As long as I can say I did the best I could
[Bridge]
G F G C
The best I could
F G Am
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
F G C
The best I could
F G
To give away the things I couldn't keep
[Verse 3]
F C G
When the kids have all left home
F G C
But they come around to see us anyway
F C G
We can look back and say
F G C
We did our best in each and every way
Am Em7
Like dice in a cup we rattle around
F Dm
With both feet on the ground
[Chorus]
C F G C
If I can't say I did my best
F G C
I worked so hard and saved to live just like the rest
F G Am
The simple things in life made us feel good
G F G C
As long as I can say I did the best I could
[Bridge]
G F G C
The best I could
F G Am
I will not have to lose a wink of sleep
F G C
The best I could
F G
To give away the things I couldn't keep
