Em  C  G

[Verse 1]
Em             C
We are all the same
                G
We feel the same pains
Em            C
Domesticated creatures
                    G
With different last names
Em              C
No matter what I was in life
                 G
No matter what I did
Em                      C
I could stare into your eyes
              G
And see myself as a kid


[Bridge]
Am  Bm  D           D7    G
Grassy fields, and salty bays
Am    Bm D       D7    G
Sting my eyes, again today


[Chorus]
Em
Go ahead through the pearly gates
    Cadd9
Ill be there before you know it
       Am                 G
At the touch of love and loss of love
  Am
We all become a poet
     C               G
But this, is not the end
Em
Thank you for protecting me
   Cadd9
As pretty as a flower
  Am          G
I wish I had one more day
   Am                C
Or even one more hour
D
With my best friend

[Verse 2]
  Em                       C
A regretful river fills my heart
                G
And butterflies reside
Em                    C                   G
In my stomach when my mind, thinks of the times
Em                 C                               G
The times we were together, and the times I wasn't there,
Em                C          G
I hope you didn't care, oh I hope you didn't care


[Bridge]
Am  Bm  D           D7    G
Grassy fields, and salty bays
Am    Bm D       D7    G
Sting my eyes, again today


[Chorus]

Em
Go ahead through the pearly gates
    Cadd9
Ill be there before you know it
       Am                 G
At the touch of love and loss of love
  Am
We all become a poet
     C               G
But this, is not the end
Em
Thank you for protecting me
   Cadd9
As pretty as a flower
  Am          G
I wish I had one more day
   Am                C
Or even one more hour
D                     Em C
With my best friend
             Em      C
With my best friend
             G       D
With my best friend
             G       D  D7  G
With my best friend
