(Capo on 1)

Intro.:  (C) x 4

(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 (C)sand
As I lay drifting on the ocean with this (G)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 (C)smile
You always loved this island (G)breeze

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

(Chorus)
It's bitter-(F)sweet, you (C)see, you're not (F)here but I can (C)feel you
Every (Am)memo-(C)ry is on the (F)tip of my tongue (G)
Close my (Am)eyes, see your (F)face, hold on (C)tight to yester-(F)day
Praying (C)when I wake, it was just a (G)dream
It's bitter-(F)sweet (C)

(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)Make me feel alive before I (G)go

You said (F)life is only borrowed, so let's (C)wash away our sorrow
That to-(F)morrow I won't be here with (C)you
(F)Go and live your life with no re-(C)grets
And don't forget how much I (G)love you, I (F)love you (G)

(Chorus)
It's bitter-(F)sweet, you (C)see, you're not (F)here but I can (C)feel you
Every (Am)memo-(C)ry is on the (F)tip of my tongue (G)
Close my (Am)eyes, see your (F)face, hold on (C)tight to yester-(F)day
Praying (G)when I wake, it was just a dream
It's bitter-(F)sweet (C)

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

Bitter, --- bitter-(F)sweet (C) (G)
Bitter-(Am)sweet, (F) (G) (Am) (F) (C) (G) oh, (Am)oh, (F)oh, (G)oh

The wind (F)whistling 'cross my bottle, still can't (C)blow away the sorrow
That to-(F)morrow you won't be here with (C)me
So (F)raise it up and toast the day we (C)met
I won't forget the way you (G)love me, the amazing way you (F) love me
(F) (C#7) It's bitter-(C)sweet -----
