                 LIFE AS WE KNEW IT          Kathy Mattea



     D                         G           D
The key's in the mail box the u-haul is loaded
                  Bm         Em              A
This is the last time we'll call this place home
     D                   G              Em
The cat's in a cage to leave at your mother's
           G          Em              A        D
I'll be halfway to Ashville when you wake up alone.
D                   G                 D
It's been a while since I've seen Carolina 
                 Bm      Em            A
It always was beautiful this time of year
    D                      G          Em
And if this is the end of life as we knew it
G                   A             D
You won't find me living around here

CHORUS:
D       G          D       G               D         Em        A
I love life as we knew it  I still can't believe we threw it away
 D                           Em        D          G        A     D
Goodbye that's al there is   to   it  Life as we knew it ended today.

D                   G               D
I'll leave a number if you need to reach me
             Bm          Em         A
You always called when I had to be gone
D            G          Em     D         G             A     D
I know that here in my heart life as we knew it still lives on.
