F                C              Bb              F
It's that time of year when my eyes are misting all day long
           Gm               F                   C
And the bones that hold my mind are prone to breaking
          F         C                  Bb                  F
And the Carolina coast feels like a friend that once was close
        Gm             F                C
Or a feeling from a dream I could not shake

[Chorus]
          Bb                              F             Dm
So I am packing all my things into the smallest bag I have
           Bb                           F                 Dm
And I am hoping that the salty air can cure just like my mama said
          Bb                           F           Dm
And reading Rumi talk of God like he always was a friend
  Gm                 C7            F C Dm
I hope that's how I will remember him
C       Bb            C
I hope that's how I will remember him

      F                 C                 Bb              F
The whole way there, I was worried about how you would see me
         Gm              F                C
Yeah I never quite got used to this here body
       F                  C                 Bb              F
But the sun was shining bright and casting fairies on the sea
          Gm            F                   C
And so I never even thought, once, to say sorry

[Chorus]
          Bb                                F             Dm
So I am taking all our things and placing them onto the sand
            Bb                               F              Dm
And I am thinking about how your hand feels almost like my own hand
       Bb                                   F             Dm
And about how we make plans but we don't always follow through
        Gm                C7           F C Dm
Yeah I hope that's how I will remember you
C       Bb             C            F
I hope that is how I will remember you

[Verse 3]
             F               C              Bb              F
There were three new words tied into the rope that we had found
        Gm              F                C
As the day began to spread across our shores
       F              C              Bb               F
You looked upon the world as if it all was hallowed ground
         Gm            F               C
And the future was a dream I could ignore

[Chorus]
          Bb                             F            Dm
So I am taking all my bags and throwing them into the sea
           Bb                                   F         Dm
And I am hoping that your hand will stay this close to my body
     Bb                                F                   Dm
And we will stay as long as it feels good, and then we'll leave
        Gm                   C7          F C Dm
Yeah I hope that's how you will remember me
C       Bb               C          F C Dm
I hope that is how you will remember me
C       Bb               C           F
I hope that is how you will remember me
