[Verse 1]
G D
It must be the morning again,
G D D A
The sun through the window felt good on my skin,
Bm G D D
So it must be leaving soon, as it should.
[Verse 2]
G D D
I saw the bluebird again,
G D D A
She pointed it out in the yard on our fence,
Bm G D D
So it must be leaving soon, as it should.
[Chorus]
G
When I’m standing by water,
A
It gets harder and harder,
Bm G G
It’s why I get sad when there’s ships in the harbor,
D A D D
Cause they must be leaving soon, as they should.
[Interlude]
D
[Verse 3]
G D D
I got to see an old friend,
G D D A
We laughed and stayed up till it came to an end,
Bm G
Cause he must be leaving soon,
D D
As he should.
[Verse 4]
G D D
I tend to get lost in the stars,
G D D A
I waste every night wondering where we all are,
Bm G D D
And how we must be leaving soon, as we should.
[Chorus]
G
When I’m standing by water,
A
It gets harder and harder,
Bm G D G
It’s why I get sad when there’s ships in the harbor,
D A D D
Cause they must, be leaving soon, as they should.

[Verse 5]
G D D
It takes time to know when you’re wrong,
G D D A
It takes even longer to put it all in a song,
Bm D G D D
And I wish it was easy to, like he did.
[Chorus]
G
When I’m by peaceful waters,
A
It gets harder and harder,
Bm G
I’d do anything just to talk to my father,
D A Bm Bm
But I guess he was leaving soon, as we do.
[Outro]
D A D
Yeah I guess, he was passing through; and I am too.
