Verse
F Dm
Guess you never really stuck around,
Bb C7
All that long anywhere.
F Dm

Bb C7
You always did, catch me unawares.
A
Looking now at your debris,
Dm Bb
These trails of paper strewn across the floor.
C7
Towards an open door.
F C Bb
Look at all you've gathered, all you own,
Dm
Hold it in your hand,
C7
Does it weigh more than a single feather?
F C Bb
If the things you feel outsmart the things you know,
Dm Am F C
It's almost time, it's almost time to go.
Verse
F Dm
I don't know if you struggled at the end.
Bb C7
I know at times, you fought like hell.
F Dm
I know that sleep was never quite your friend.
Bb C7
I hope that now, you're resting well.
A
Old band names and alma maters,
Dm Bb
A patchwork quilt of people you have been,

Tattooed on your skin.

Look at all you've gathered, all you own,

Hold it in your hand,
C7
Does it weigh more than a single feather?
F C Bb
If the things you feel outsmart the things you know,
Dm Am F C
It's almost time, it's almost time to go.
F C Bb
Think of people, places you have known,
Dm
Sculpted out of sand.

The tide's coming in and we're going nowhere.
F C Bb
If your feet are still in shoes that they've outgrown,
Dm Am
It's almost time, it's almost time to-
Outro
F C7 Dm
Think of seed you've scattered and you've sown,
Bb
All out of your hands,
C7
Lost in the wind like a little feather,
F C Bb
And the things you feel outsmart the things you know.
Dm C Bm C7
It's almost time, it's almost time, it's almost time, it's almost time,
Dm C7 F
it's almost time, it's almost time to go.
