Bittersweet

Intro: C# F# C# F# C# F# G# C#

C#
Can't tell where the sky begins

And the water ends
C#
No clouds to hide the sun
F#
  Waves playing me

A symphony upon the sand
         C#
As I lay drifting on the ocean
          G#
With this bottle in my hand

C#
  Sat down on the boardwalk

For a little while
C#
  Your memory, my company
F#
Something 'bout this place

Had a way to make you smile
C#                           
  You always loved this island 
  G#
breeze

    F#
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle
            C#
Still can't blow away the sorrow
       F#                          
That tomorrow you won't be here 
  C#
with me
     F#
So I raise it up and toast
           C#
The day we met and won't forget
            G#
The way you love me
                    F#     G#
The amazing way you love me

Chorus:
           F#         C#
It's bittersweet, you see
           F#              C#
You're not here but I can feel you
      A#m   C#           F#      
Every me-mo-ry is on the tip of 
     G#
my tongue
         A#m            F#
Close my eyes, see your face
        C#             F#
Hold on tight to yesterday
        C#                         
Praying when I wake, it was just a 
   G#
dream...
            C#    F#  C#
It's bitterswee-e-e-e-et



C#
  Doctor said there's nothing we can
 do

Took my hand, said take me home
F#
To the only place with half a chance

To take the pain away
C#                          G#
Make me feel alive before I go

         F#
You said life is only borrowed
        C#
So let's wash away our sorrow
       F#                          
That tomorrow I won't be here with 
C#
you
F#                          
Go and live your life with no 
    C#
regrets
                            G#
And don't forget how much I love you
  F#       G#
I love you

            F#         C#
It's bittersweet, you see
           F#              C#
You're not here but I can feel you
      A#m   C#           F#      
Every me-mo-ry is on the tip of

C# G#  A#m               G#    
          I brought you back 
             C#
just like you wanted
C# G#  A#m             G#      
          So you don't ever 
     C#
have to leave
C#  G# A#m               G#    
When I... I poured you 'cross 
            C#
the southern sky
           F#           C#
I couldn't help but to cry
                            G#
I know you finally got your wings

G# G#   G# G#  F#    C#  G#
Bitter, bitterswee-e-e-e-et
       F#    C#  G#  (F# C# G#) x2
Bitterswee-e-e-e-et, oh

         F#
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle
            C#
Still can't blow away the sorrow
       F#                          
That tomorrow you won't be here 
  C#
with me
   F#                              
So raise it up and toast the day we
  C#
 met
                           G#
I won't forget the way you love me
                    F#
The amazing way you love me
