[Verse 1]
It's that tFime of year when Cmy eyes are misBbting all day lonFg
And the bonGmes that hold my mFind are prone to breCaking
And the CaFrolina coaCst feels like a friBbend that once was clFose
Or a feeGmling from a dreFam I could not shCake
[Chorus]
So I am paBbcking all my things into the smaFllest bag I haDmve
And I am hoBbping that the salty air can cFure just like my mDmama said
And readinBbg Rumi talk of God like he alFways was a fDmriend
I Gmhope that's how I wC7ill remember hFimC  Dm  
CI hope tBbhat's how I wiCll remember him
[Instrumental]
F C Bb F Gm F C
[Verse 2]
The whFole way there, I wCas worried about hBbow you would see Fme
Yeah I neGmver quite got usFed to this here bCody
But the Fsun was shining brCight and casting fBbairies on the seFa
And so I nGmever even thouFght, once, to say soCrry
[Chorus]
So I am taBbking all our things and placing thFem onto the saDmnd
And I am thiBbnking about how your hand feels aFlmost like my oDmwn hand
And aboBbut how we make plans but we don't alwFays follow thrDmough
Yeah I hGmope that's how I wC7ill remember FyoCuDm  
CI hope tBbhat is how I wiCll remember yFou

[Verse 3]
There were thFree new words tiCed into the ropBbe that we had foFund
As the dGmay began to spreFad across our shoCres
You looFked upon the woCrld as if it alBbl was hallowed grFound
And the fGmuture was a drFeam I could ignoCre
[Chorus]
So I am taBbking all my bags and throwing tFhem into the Dmsea
And I am hoBbping that your hand will stay this clFose to my Dmbody
And wBbe will stay as long as it feels goFod, and then we'll lDmeave
Yeah I hGmope that's how you wiC7ll remember FmeC  Dm  
CI hope tBbhat is how you wiCll remember FmCeDm  
CI hope tBbhat is how you wiCll remember Fme

[Intro]

F C Bb F Gm F C

[Verse 1]

F C Bb F

It's that time of year when my eyes are misting all day long

Gm F C

And the bones that hold my mind are prone to breaking

F C Bb F

And the Carolina coast feels like a friend that once was close

Gm F C

Or a feeling from a dream I could not shake

[Chorus]

Bb F Dm

So I am packing all my things into the smallest bag I have

Bb F Dm

And I am hoping that the salty air can cure just like my mama said

Bb F Dm

And reading Rumi talk of God like he always was a friend

Gm C7 F C Dm

I hope that's how I will remember him

C Bb C

I hope that's how I will remember him

[Instrumental]

F C Bb F Gm F C

[Verse 2]

F C Bb F

The whole way there, I was worried about how you would see me

Gm F C

Yeah I never quite got used to this here body

F C Bb F

But the sun was shining bright and casting fairies on the sea

Gm F C

And so I never even thought, once, to say sorry

[Chorus]

Bb F Dm

So I am taking all our things and placing them onto the sand

Bb F Dm

And I am thinking about how your hand feels almost like my own hand

Bb F Dm

And about how we make plans but we don't always follow through

Gm C7 F C Dm

Yeah I hope that's how I will remember you

C Bb C F

I hope that is how I will remember you

[Bridge]

F C Bb F Gm F C

F C Bb F Gm C F C Dm C

Bb C F

[Verse 3]

F C Bb F

There were three new words tied into the rope that we had found

Gm F C

As the day began to spread across our shores

F C Bb F

You looked upon the world as if it all was hallowed ground

Gm F C

And the future was a dream I could ignore

[Chorus]

Bb F Dm

So I am taking all my bags and throwing them into the sea

Bb F Dm

And I am hoping that your hand will stay this close to my body

Bb F Dm

And we will stay as long as it feels good, and then we'll leave

Gm C7 F C Dm

Yeah I hope that's how you will remember me

C Bb C F C Dm

I hope that is how you will remember me

C Bb C F

I hope that is how you will remember me
