Intro: | G / / / | D / C(9) / :||
VERSE 1:
G D C(9)
Never a day goes by when I can't see his face
G D C(9)
And I can hear a thundering voice that no one will replace
G D C(9)
But since he left you've been hiding out and I can't understand
G D C(9)
It seems to me about that time you should be coming back again
PRE-Chorus 1:
C(9) G/B Gm/Bb A
I can feel the pain that won't go away
C(9) G/B A D
We can't change that he left us but it's up to you to stay
Chorus:
C(9) G
And I will make sense of it all
C(9) G
Gonna try to make sense of it all
C(9) G
You ask me why, 'cause it's all I can do
C(9) A D
I miss him every day but now I miss you
VERSE 2:
I know it hurts right now but you've got to keep moving on
And I know how good it can feel when you're safe and withdrawn
But he can live in a memory and you don't yet have that choice
'Cause you're still here and to speak to me you're gonna have to
use your voice
PRE-Chorus 2:
I ain't telling you what's right
And I ain't telling you what's wrong
But it's he who has died
And it's you who has gone
Chorus
SOLO
VERSE 3:
G D *D
I know you're thinking now you must go through this alone
Am D
But it's time to come home
PRE-Chorus 1
Chorus to fade
* listen to the song for this, it differs from the other verses
