Bye mom
EF#BBsus4B
That's what I said at five years old the first day of school
EF#G#mF#
Already then I thought I was way too cool
E
I thought I had it figured out
BF#
And I didn't know a thing
VERSE:
B
Bye mom
EF#BBsus4B
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll see you at three at the bus stop
EF#G#mF#
And I know that you'll be right there to pick me up
EF#
In the old truck
CHORUS:
BF#
And oh that's just the way it is
G#m7F#
When you think you grown but you're still a kid
EB
And you don't know you're somebody
EF#
That somebody loves more than themselves
BF#
And there's a beauty in the innocence
G#mF#
Of not knowing that the time they've spent
EB
Is more than one could ask for
EF#
And that's a special kind of love
EF#F#
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone
VERSE:
B
And it's bye mom
EF#BBsus4B
You can drop me off down the block around the corner square
EF#G#mF#
All my buddies are waiting for me just over there
EF#
I'll see you later on
VERSE:
B
Bye mom
EF#G#m7
It's a cap and a gown and a brand new town eight hours away
F#F#
Don't cry, I'll be okay
CHORUS:

And oh that's just the way it is
G#m7F#
When you think you grown but you're still a kid
EB
And you don't know you're somebody
EF#

And by mom, I sang a million mornings at the Bryan Street Baptist church
EBC#mF#
And by mom, I waited hours and hours till she got off of work
BF#G#m7G#m
And by mom, I stood and cried and laid a rose onto her grave
EBF#
And bye mom, were the last words that I spoke before we sang Amazing Grace
CHORUS:
BF#
And oh that's just the way it is
G#m7F#
When you're all grown but you're still a kid
EB
And you realize you're somebody
EF#
That somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence
