[Verse 1]
Bb                   C
I only got you in my stories
                         F
And you know I tell them right
                    Dm
And remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
Bb                      C
So give it up for fallen glory
                       F
I never got to say goodbye
                   Dm
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time


[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                 C
Every step I take, you used lead the way
        F                         Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own


[Chorus]
              Bb
You're not there
                 C
To celebrate the man that you made
              F
You're not there
               Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
        Bb
Is it fair?
                      C
You'll never know the person I'll be
              F
You're not there
     Dm
With me...



[Verse 2]
Bb                            C
Though I know that you're not there
                            F
I still write you all these songs
                                   Dm
It's like, you've got the right to know what's going on
Bb                    C                       F
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
                              Dm
Sometimes i still think i can spot you in the crowd


[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                C
Every step I take, you used lead the way
        F                         Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own


[Chorus]
              Bb
You're not there
                 C
To celebrate the man that you made
              F
You're not there
               Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
        Bb
Is it fair?
                      C
You'll never know the person I'll be
              F
You're not there
     Dm
With me...


[Break]
Bb
Time can heal your wounds if
C
You're strong and standing tall
F                            Dm
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
Bb                           C
They say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"
F
Yes, I will, but no it won't
Dm
They don't get it, cause...


[Chorus]
              Bb
You're not there
                 C
To celebrate the man that you made
              F
You're not there
               Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
        Bb
Is it fair?
                      C
You'll never know the person I'll be
              F
You're not there
     Dm
