Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
F# G#
I only got you in my stories
C#
And you know I tell them right
A#m
And remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
F# G#
So give it up for fallen glory
C#
I never got to say goodbye
A#m
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G#
Every step I take, you used lead the way
C# A#m
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
[Chorus]
F#
You're not there
G#
To celebrate the man that you made
C#
You're not there
A#m
To share in my success and mistakes
F#
Is it fair?
G#
You'll never know the person I'll be
C#
You're not there
A#m
With me
[Verse 2]
F# G#
Though I know that you're not there
C#
I still write you all these songs
A#m
It's like, you've got the right to know what's going on
F# G# C#
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
A#m
Sometimes i still think i can spot you in the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G#
Every step I take, you used lead the way
C# A#m
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
[Chorus]
F#
You're not there
G#
To celebrate the man that you made
C#
You're not there
A#m
To share in my success and mistakes
F#
Is it fair?
G#
You'll never know the person I'll be
C#
You're not there
A#m
With me
[Break]
F#
Time can heal your wounds if
G#
You're strong and standing tall
C# A#m
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
F# G#
They say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"
C#
Yes, I will, but no it won't
A#m
They don't get it, cause
[Chorus]
F#
You're not there
G#
To celebrate the man that you made
C#
You're not there
A#m
To share in my success and mistakes
F#
Is it fair?
G#
You'll never know the person I'll be
C#
You're not there
A#m
With me
