I put the lo[G]cket you gave me in a shoe box
With all my[Em] favorite high school pictures in a ziplock
So when I t[C]hink about myself and all that[Em] I'm not
Thanks f[Am]or the extra cash
Please t[C]ake good care of dad
I pro[Am]mise you I'll call along the [D]way
[G]Mama, d[D]on't you c[G]ry
I'm movin' on but [Em]know this a[D]in't g[G]oodbye
We might be mi[C]les apart, I'll carry y[G]ou in my he[D]art
I'll send you k[Am]isses on the phone but m[D]ama
I'm leaving h[G]ome
In only fo[G]ur months I'll be comin' home for Christmas
I b[Em]et that all the time will fly, you know how it does
Maybe I'll [C]go and find a nice guy and f[Em]all in love
I'll do my[Am] best to make you proud
Keep my r[C]oom safe for now
Just in [Am]case these big dreams don't work[D] out
[Am]We knew this day would come
And a[G]s bad as you wanna hold on
[Am]We both know it's time to let[C] go
(To let go)
