[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D                 G             F
Through the back window of our '59 wagon
  C                                     Gsus4     G
I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
D         G           F
I kept on waving till I couldn't see her
    C                              F      G        C
And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay
 
[Chorus]
F                       Gsus4          G
Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain
F                               Gsus4         G
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
              C                     G       C
And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye
     C                      Gsus4   G
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
F           G             C   C/E  F
Come let me hold you, and I will try
C/G       Am7      Gsus4  G
How can I help you         to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
D        G        F
I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
C                   Gsus4        G
I held a picture of our wedding day
D              G          F
His hands were trembling, we both were crying
C                                F       G       C
He kissed me gently, and then he quickly walked away
 
[Chorus]
F                            Gsus4          G
I called up Mama, she said, time will ease your pain
F                               Gsus4         G
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
              C                     G       C
And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye
     C                      Gsus4   G
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
F           G             C   C/E  F
Come let me hold you, and I will try
C/G       Am7      Gsus4  G
How can I help you         to say goodbye

[Verse 3]
D            G      F
Sitting with Mama, alone in her bedroom
C                        Gsus4             G
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand
          D         G          F
She said, I have to go now, my time here is over
    C                                 F       G     C
And with her final words she tried to help me understand
 
[Chorus]
F                       Gsus4          G
Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain
F                               Gsus4         G
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
              C                     G       C
And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye
     C                      Gsus4   G
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
F           G             C   C/E  F
Come let me hold you, and I will try
C/G       Am7      Gsus4  G
How can I help you         to say goodbye
