G
I remember the view out the back of the car
 B
Left the front door wide open
              Em                        C
Maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't be going
             D
I didn't realize it'd be so hard
         G                        B7
You and me, sitting on the trampoline
                            Em
I think one time we fell asleep
     C                           D
Woke up and felt like it'd been weeks
And now it truly has been
G              B7
(Forgive yourself)
It wasn't meant to be but it's funny how
Em
Life dealt this cheat
    C                 D
To someone who could handle it so well

Chorus:
G                                   B7
And while you sleep in the pouring rain
                               Em
Just know I'll be with you someday
          C                     D
And I'll have a good one 'til then
Just like you told me

   Em                                    B7
I wish we could’ve played that game sometime
             A             C
I wish we’d talked more online
                       G
I’m glad you liked my picture
I stuck it up inside my locker
Em
Becoming disconnected
       B7
Really puts into perspective
       C                           A
How important every friend is who makes
you wanna live
      C                      D
And this time it’s okay to cry

G
Black sweatpants and pasta with ketchup
           B7
When your sister ate the slug it was
the grossest thing ever
    Em                     C
Collecting beetles in the garden together
        G                     D
You're welcome anytime in my dreams

Muddy hands and climbing trees
Sink-tall while we brush our teeth
Striped shirts and hide and seek
It's all comin' back to me
And while you sleep on a sunny day
Just know I'll remember you always
And no matter how much it hurts
It's not goodbye, just see you later

Chorus:
And while you sleep in the pouring rain
Just know I'll be with you someday
And I'll have a good one till then
Just like you told me
