[Verse 1]
G D
She had 8 long weeks of summer, before the seventh grade
Em C G
Spent em swimming in the sunshine, and sleeping in the shade
G D
Now the trees go flyin’ past her, on that quiet ride back home
Em C G
And her daddy softly asks her, hey honey pie, what’s wrong
Am Am G/B C
And she looks out the window - at another year that’s leavin’ her behind
[Chorus 1]
G C
And says I thought I had more time - before I’d take this ride
Am Em
Before it all was over - before I said goodbye
C G C
I thought I had more days - to wish and waste away
Am G/B C
And then there’s all those trees I didn’t climb
D/F# G
Cause I thought I had more time
[Verse 2]
G D
She sits in the backseat, clutching to his hand
Em C G
As he tries to find the words, to tell her why it has to end
G D
And the tears fall on his shoulder, and she begs him not to go
Em C G
And all he can do is hold her, cause he doesn’t really know
Am Am G/B C
And she looks up at her future - and says I can’t believe this has to die
[Chorus 2]
G C
I thought I had more time - to feel you in my life
Am Em
To love your imperfections - to show you all of mine
C G C
I thought you had more love - I thought I was enough
Am G/B C
But every time you said forever was a lie
D/F# G
I thought I had more time
[Instrumental]
Bm C D D/F#
[Verse 3]
G D
The hospital is quiet, just the beeping of machines
Em C G
That keep her father breathing, and light the room in green
G D
And she looks down at the hands, laying withered at his side
Em C G
The hands that built her treehouse, and held her when she cried
Am Am G/B C
She sits there in the quiet - and holds on to those sleeping hands so tight
[Chorus 3]
G C
I thought I had more time - to follow close behind you
Am Em
To watch and learn and listen - to memorize and mind you
C G C
I thought that I had years - to fight away my fears
Am Em
To grow into somebody - who was ready for these tears
C G C
I thought I had more time - I thought I had more time
Am G/B C
And it makes it so damn hard to say goodbye
D/F# G
Cause I thought I had more time
