F
My daughter has a best friend
      C               G
Who's about to move away
   F
And it kills me as a mother
   C                 G
To see her feel this kind of pain
            F             C
This is her first great loss
             G        Am
But it won't be her last
         F         C
I cannot make it stop
       G
And so I say


[Chorus 1]
  C                   G            Am                 F
I know you wish there was a way to slow the hands of time
    C               G
But when you truly love someone
    Am            F
You never say goodbye
                             C            G                Am
'Cause they're woven in the fabric of the person you've become
        F           C             G
It is impossible, impossible to lose
               F   C F G
The ones you love


[Verse 2]
   F
My grandpa's name is Henry
    C                G
And Audrey was his wife
      F
After 50 years together
        C                 G
She was still the love of his whole life
            F        C
Before her final breath
                G          Am
She reached and took his hand
            F          C
He bowed to kiss her head
           G
And heard her say


[Chorus 2]
  C                   G             Am                 F
I know you wish there was a way to slow the hands of time
    C               G
But when you truly love someone
    Am            F
You never say goodbye
                             C            G                Am
'Cause they're woven in the fabric of the person you've become
        F           C             G
It is impossible, impossible to lose
               F   C F C
The ones you love


[Bridge]
Am          F                    Gsus4     G
I know the winds of change will blow again
  C              F
I feel it in my heart
          Gsus4      G
I know it in my head
    Am               G                  F
And though I can't avoid the road that lies ahead
               G
I choose these words instead


[Chorus 3]
  C                  G            Am                F
Even though there's not a way to slow the hands of time
C               G                Am            F
When you truly love someone you never say goodbye
                             C             G               Am
'Cause they're woven in the fabric of the person you've become
        F           C             G
It is impossible, impossible to lose
        F           C             G
It is impossible, impossible to lose
              F   C G
The ones you love
Am            F   C G
The ones you love
