             G                             
 I put the locket you gave me in a shoe box
            Em                                         
 With all my favorite high school pictures in a ziplock
            C                             Em      
 So when I think about myself and all that I'm not
         Am               
 Thanks for the extra cash
         C                   
 Please take good care of dad
      Am                           D  
 I promise you I'll call along the way
 
 G      D         G 
 Mama, don't you cry
                   Em         D     G     
 I'm movin' on but know this ain't goodbye
               C                      G          D  
 We might be miles apart, I'll carry you in my heart
                Am                      D  
 I'll send you kisses on the phone but mama
              G  
 I'm leaving home
 
           G                                          
 In only four months I'll be comin' home for Christmas
    Em                                                 
 I bet that all the time will fly, you know how it does
            C                           Em         
 Maybe I'll go and find a nice guy and fall in love
           Am                     
 I'll do my best to make you proud
          C               
 Keep my room safe for now
         Am                              D   
 Just in case these big dreams don't work out
 
 Am                         
 We knew this day would come
      G                         
 And as bad as you wanna hold on
 Am                           C  
 We both know it's time to let go
 (To let go)
