Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: GCapotraste: 3rd traste [Intro] G D A Bm [1 Verse] G D A Bm G 7:36am a message on my phone, a message from D A Bm G D your sister saying your gone. A Bm G D Damn that hit me hard , Its done now no going A Bm G back I'm stuck here in the dark. Hands wrapped D A Bm G D around my face, looking like disgrace. A Bm Boy were you a brother to me. G D A Bm [1 Chorus] Bm A G And it hurts me to think what you could have D Bm A G been, a husband and a father or the greatest D Bm A man I've seen. Well all that would be nice if G D Bm this damn world weren’t so mean. A G D At least I can keep you in my memories. Bm A G D G D A Bm [2 Verse] G D A Hiding from my family tears running from my Bm G D A eyes, texting you continuously hoping you’ll Bm G D A reply. Bm G D A But you don’t, Bm coz your gone. G D A It’s gonna take a little while to comprehend Bm that day. G D A Bm [2 Chorus] Bm A G D And it hurts me to know that you felt alone. Bm A G The only thing you needed was a person to D Bm A know. But the only thing you dreamed of was G D impossible hope. Bm A G D G D A Bm [Bridge] G D A And these little memories I keep inside my Bm G D soul, those little pranks and silly games A Bm G D A Bm that never got to old. G D And that little cheeky grin you’d have when A Bm you knew you had me beet G D A you tie my shoes together and I’d trip over Bm G D A my own feet. Bm And you'd laugh. G D A Bm [1 Chorus] Bm A G And it hurts me to think what you could have D Bm A G been, a husband and a father or the greatest D Bm A man I've seen. Well all that would be nice if G D Bm this damn world weren’t so mean. A G D At least I can keep you in my memories.
