Capo 1st
[Verse]
CCan't tell where the sky begins
And the water ends
No clouds to hide the sun
FWaves playing me
A symphony upon the sand
CAs I lay drifting on the ocean
GWith this bottle in my hand
CSat down on the boardwalk
For a little while
Your memory, my company
FSomething 'bout this place
Had a way to make you smile
CYou always loved this island Gbreeze
FThe wind whistling 'cross my bottle
Still can't blCow away the sorrow
That tomForrow you won't be here with Cme
So I raiFse it up and toast
The day we Cmet and won't forget
The way you Glove me
The amazing way you lFove meG  
[Chorus]
It's bitterswFeet, you seeC  
You're not here Fbut I can feel yCou
Every AmmemorCy is on the tFip of my tonGgue
Close my eAmyes, see your Fface
Hold on tighCt to yesFterday
PrayinCg when I wake, it was just a Gdream
It's bFittersweeCt
[Verse]
CDoctor said there's nothing we can do
Took my hand, said take me home
FTo the only place with half a chance
To take the pain away
CMake me feel alive before I Ggo
You said life Fis only borrowed
So let's wash Caway our sorrow
That toFmorrow I won't be here with Cyou
GFo and live your life with no rCegrets
And don't forget how much I lGove you
I lFove youG  
[Chorus]
It's bitterswFeet, you seeC  
You're not heFre but I can Cfeel you
