[Intro]
Dm F Dm F
[Verse]
DmIn the clutter of my news feed
There's a Fnote sent to me reading rest in peace.
DmFrom a distant relative of mine,
I Fclicked the link as I rolled my eyes.
CDon't know why they thought I'd give a damn in the Dmfirst place.
CProbably just some name I ain't heard in a Dmdecade.
DmI almost didn't recognize
The Fworn out face and deep blue eyes.
DmAs the same ones that would sit outside
My Fwindow when daddy would tan my hide.
CThen find a way to make me laugh with a Dmfunny face.
CBobby was my first best friend in the Dmthird grade.
[Chorus]
FOh Clife fliGes by
FAnd we're just aClong for the Gride.
FBeen so busy Cfussin and fightingG, to realize the water is risingF  
And you can't Chold back the Gtide.
[Verse]
DmTook a trip down memory lane,
As I Fscrolled through the faces and read through the names.
DmHis cousin was a big ol' boy
FWhoopin my ass seemed to bring him joy.
CHis sister was the finest thing I had Dmever seen.
CAnd I did my damndest to get her to Dmnotice me.
DmTime is gonna catch us all
eFventually from grace we fall
DmI softly chuckled to myself
at the Fchanges in those who aint aged so well.
CA sober reflection appeared turning Dmoff my screen,
CGrays sprouting in my beard and some crDmows feet.
[Chorus]
FOh Clife fliGes by
FAnd we're just aClong for the Gride.
FBeen so busy Cfussin and fightingG, to realize the water is risingF  
And you can't Chold back the Gtide.
[Verse]
DmBaby girl climbed in my lap
Said dFaddy who's that in the photograph?
DmTwo boys in baseball caps
I said the Ffreckle faced one right there's your dad.
CI thought about my old friend as she fDmell asleep.
CA couple different chiices and it coulda bDmeen me.
DmTook her and her momma to the beach,
Felt the Fwarmth of the water wash over my feet.
DmSpent the day on our knees and hands
making the Fprettiest castles and words in the sand.
CThen watched it all wash away as I rDmealized.
CNoone would even know they existed by suDmnrise.

[Intro]

Dm F Dm F

[Verse]

In the clutter of my news feed

There's a note sent to me reading rest in peace.

From a distant relative of mine,

I clicked the link as I rolled my eyes.

C Dm

Don't know why they thought I'd give a damn in the first place.

C Dm

Probably just some name I ain't heard in a decade.

I almost didn't recognize

The worn out face and deep blue eyes.

As the same ones that would sit outside

My window when daddy would tan my hide.

C Dm

Then find a way to make me laugh with a funny face.

C Dm

Bobby was my first best friend in the third grade.

[Chorus]

F C G

Oh life flies by

F C G

And we're just along for the ride.

F C G F

Been so busy fussin and fighting, to realize the water is rising

C G

And you can't hold back the tide.

[Verse]

Took a trip down memory lane,

As I scrolled through the faces and read through the names.

His cousin was a big ol' boy

Whoopin my ass seemed to bring him joy.

C Dm

His sister was the finest thing I had ever seen.

C Dm

And I did my damndest to get her to notice me.

Time is gonna catch us all

eventually from grace we fall

I softly chuckled to myself

at the changes in those who aint aged so well.

C Dm

A sober reflection appeared turning off my screen,

C Dm

Grays sprouting in my beard and some crows feet.

[Chorus]

F C G

Oh life flies by

F C G

And we're just along for the ride.

F C G F

Been so busy fussin and fighting, to realize the water is rising

C G

And you can't hold back the tide.

[Verse]

Baby girl climbed in my lap

Said daddy who's that in the photograph?

Two boys in baseball caps

I said the freckle faced one right there's your dad.

C Dm

I thought about my old friend as she fell asleep.

C Dm

A couple different chiices and it coulda been me.

Took her and her momma to the beach,

Felt the warmth of the water wash over my feet.

Spent the day on our knees and hands

making the prettiest castles and words in the sand.

C Dm

Then watched it all wash away as I realized.

C Dm

Noone would even know they existed by sunrise.
