Intro: Em G C D
Em
I try to sleep but my eyes are open
G
I can't think cause my heart is broken
C
And there's a bottle right next to me
D
I'll down a few drinks just to take the pain away
Em
I wanna say all the things I need to say
G
I won't lie, I'll just tell them honestly
C
If God can take a friend away from me
D
Then I can say all I want and he won't do anything
Em C
My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak
G D
I can't say nothing at all
Em C
Sleep well, my friend
G D
There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go
Em C
Sleep well, goodnight
G
You're something to remember
D
I wish that you were here by my side
Em G C D
Em
I spend hours tryna make it through the day

In the city that you love, now Atlanta's just a burial ground

All the stained pieces, I can't believe this

A mother shouldn't witness her son die at twenty-four
(Please don't know this is for the hopeless,
It's ripping me apart and I can't take it anymore)

I will hold my tongue for the rest of my life
