[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
             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
[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
             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
[Pont]
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
