[Verse]

C
Can't tell where the sky begins

And the water ends

No clouds to hide the sun
F
Waves playing me

A symphony upon the sand
C
As I lay drifting on the ocean
G
With this bottle in my hand

C
Sat down on the boardwalk

For a little while

Your memory, my company
F
Something 'bout this place

Had a way to make you smile
C                            G
You always loved this island breeze

F
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle
              C
Still can't blow away the sorrow
        F                            C
That tomorrow you won't be here with me
        F
So I raise it up and toast
           C
The day we met and won't forget
            G
The way you love me
                     F        G
The amazing way you love me


[Chorus]

             F           C
It's bittersweet, you see
               F                C
You're not here but I can feel you
      Am   C            F           G
Every memory is on the tip of my tongue
          Am            F
Close my eyes, see your face
            C       F
Hold on tight to yesterday
      C                            G                      
Praying when I wake, it was just a dream
      F        C
It's bittersweet


[Verse]

C
Doctor said there's nothing we can do

Took my hand, said take me home
F
To the only place with half a chance

To take the pain away
C                          G
Make me feel alive before I go

             F
You said life is only borrowed
             C
So let's wash away our sorrow
       F                           C
That tomorrow I won't be here with you
 F                             C
Go and live your life with no regrets
                             G
And don't forget how much I love you
   F          G
I love you


[Chorus]

             F           C
It's bittersweet, you see
             F            C
You're not here but I can feel you
      Am   C            F         G
Every memory is on the tip of my tongue
          Am             F
Close my eyes, see your face
            C       F
Hold on tight to yesterday
           G                      
Praying when I wake, it was just a dream
      F        C
It's bittersweet


[Bridge]

Am            G                  C         Am
I brought you back just like you wanted
            G               C
So you don't ever have to leave
       Am            G                   C
When I poured you 'cross the southern sky
              F         C
I couldn't help but to cry
                            G
I know you finally got your wings

G       G     F   C  G
Bitter, bittersweet
      Am  F   G
Bittersweet, 

Am F      C  G

     Am  F   G
Ooooooooooooh


[Outro]

F
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle
              C
Still can't blow away the sorrow
        F                              C
That tomorrow you won't be here with me
        F
So I raise it up and toast
            C
The day we met and won't forget
             G
The way you love me
                F               Fm
The amazing way you love me
            C
It's bittersweet
