  Intro:     A       Bm      F#m       D     x2
A                Bm        F#m              D
  I get this feeling every year, the first days of winter
A                   Bm      F#m               D 
  Pull out that box of souvenirs to read your old letters
A                  Bm      F#m                 D
  In that stack of memories, found a note you left for me
A                  Bm          F#m       D
  It almost feels like you're still here
     E                 D        
  I hear your voice in every word 
       E             D
  You told me to remember
A            E               D
  Take each day and make it last
             F#m                  E 
  'Cause you turn around and the future is the past
A           E             D
  Here and now is all we have
        F#m              E           D
  The beginning and the end mean so little
       F#m               E
  What matters most is what's in the middle
  A       Bm       F#m        D
A                 Bm         F#m      D
  Makes me smile when I look back to every summer
A                     Bm               F#m                  D
  You'd forget your birthday and just laugh and say "It's just a number"
A               Bm     F#m              D
  But Sunday afternoons, they meant so much to you
       A                 Bm
  The simple things were golden 
            F#m       D
  You found beauty in every moment 
  A            E             D
  Take each day and make it last
             F#m                  E 
  'Cause you turn around and the future is the past
A           E             D
  Here and now is all we have
        F#m              E           D
  The beginning and the end mean so little
       F#m               E
  What matters most is what's in the middle

       E                  D
  The day you're born is just a start
        E                 D
  Your last breath is a question mark
        E            D     
  The story of your life is in the in between
 A            E              D
  Take each day and make it last
             F#m                  E

A           E             D

  Here and now is all we have
        F#m              E           D
  The beginning and the end mean so little
       F#m               E                  
  What matters most is what's in the middle
  A      Bm     F#m      D               A     Bm     D
