VERSE:
 B
Bye mom
        E              F#         
That's what I said at five years 
              B           Bsus4 B
old the first day of school
 E           F#              G#m 
Already then I thought I was way 
        F#
too cool
                    E
I thought I had it figured out
              B           F#
And I didn't know a thing


VERSE:
 B
Bye mom
       E                   F#     
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll see you
                  B      Bsus4 B
 at three at the bus stop
    E                  F#     
And I know that you'll be right 
           G#m       F#
there to pick me up
        E       F#
In the old truck


CHORUS:
    B                   F#
And oh that's just the way it is
         G#m7                      
When you think you grown but you're
  F#
 still a kid
         E                     B
And you don't know you're somebody
          E                  
That somebody loves more than 
      F#
themselves

               B           
And there's a beauty in the 
  F#
innocence
   G#m                   F#
Of not knowing that the time they've
 spent
    E                   B
Is more than one could ask for
              E               F#
And that's a special kind of love

         E                         
And it's only there for a lifetime,
            F#  F#
 then it's gone


VERSE:
          B
And it's bye mom
         E           F#           
You can drop me off down the block
             B           Bsus4 B
 around the corner square
E                   F#           
All my buddies are waiting for me
      G#m       F#
 just over there
              E       F#
I'll see you later on


VERSE:
 B
Bye mom
        E                    F#   
It's a cap and a gown and a brand 
               G#m7
new town eight hours away
                F#     F#
Don't cry, I'll be okay


CHORUS:
    B                   F#
And oh that's just the way it is
         G#m7                      
When you think you grown but you're
  F#
 still a kid
         E                     B

hours till she got off of work
        B                F#       
And by mom, I stood and cried and 
       G#m7           G#m
laid a rose onto her grave
         E                      
And bye mom, were the last words 
  B                      F#
that I spoke before we sang Amazing 
Grace

When you're all grown but you're
