INTRO: Cadd9 C    F  Dm  C  Dm7  G  C  G

    C                        F         C
The key's in the mailbox the u-haul is loaded
            Am7             Dm              G
This is the last time we'll call this place home
    C                  F             Dm
The cat's in a cage to leave at your mother's
        F          Dm                G        C      G
I'll be halfway to Ashville when you wake up alone


C                           F        C
It's been awhile since I've seen Carolina 
              Am7    Dm           G
It always was pretty this time of year
       C                  F          Dm
And if this is the end of life as we knew it
    F             G             C      G
You won't find me living 'round here


CHORUS:
C      F          C       
I love life as we knew it  
  F             C        Dm        G
I still can't believe we threw it away
C               F            Dm7
Goodbye, that's all there is to it
C          Dm7     G       C
Life as we knew it ended today

C                      F           C
I'll leave a number if you need to reach me
           Am7           Dm        G
You always called when I had to be gone
C           F          Dm   
I know that here in my mem'ry
F          G            C    
Life as we knew it lives on


CHORUS:
C      F          C       
I love life as we knew it  
  F             C        Dm        G
I still can't believe we threw it away
C               F            Dm7
Goodbye, that's all there is to it
C          Dm7     G       C
Life as we knew it ended today
           Dm7     G       C
Life as we knew it ended today
