Em 
My
G 
mother quit
C 
making her own sweet tea
G 
C 
When we moved to Bowling Green
G 
A few months after my
Em 
brother Will was born
G 
C 
She used to be a bumblebee
G 
Until she slowed down
C 
G 
talking to dad and me
And my brother became
Em 
something she ignored
G 
One night she slept for three days straight
And the next four weeks she'd
C 
get headaches
G 
And complain how she
C 
Em 
couldn't sleep no more
D 
G 
C 
She wrote to dad how she felt misplaced
G 
That she knew love shouldn't
C 
G 
feel this way
C 
And there ain't no getting back
to how it was before
Em 
C 
G 
But what scares me the most
C 
G 
about growin' old
C 
G 
D 
Is what if all I remember winds up gone
Em 
G 
I know the day will come
C 
G 
when we all move on
C 
G 
D 
But most of what she took wasn't
C 
G 
C 
G 
her own
C

D 
G 
When she left, my father cried
I was angry, but I tried
Em 
So he had someone there for him
G 
He took hallucins and swung them tight
But the bottle of wine from the wedding night
I still don't know
Em 
how he kept from caving in
C 
G 
But what scares me the most
C 
G 
About growing old
C 
G 
D 
Is what if all I remember winds up gone
Em 
G 
I know the day will come
C

The morning was hot and
C 
I couldn't breathe
G 
C 
From my time, folks talking to me
G 
As if what they said
C 
Em 
could steal me away from here
G 
C 
Family members that I didn't know
G 
Passed my brother around
C 
till they had to go
G 
So he could start picking up
C 
Em 
what she left in the air
G 
Now it's gonna be steel toe boots
and oven mitts
Dad'll take on roles that'll halfway fit
And do his best to show he
Em 
weren't to blame
G 
We'll look back on how he
handled it
How those hardest years only got a hitch
From a hard -earned faith
Em 
he'd find a long way
C 
G 
But what scares me the most
C 
G 
about growing old
C 
G 
D 
Is what if all I remember winds up gone
Em 
G 
I know the day will come
C 
G 
when we all move on
C
