Posthumous Forgiveness

[Intro] Gm  D  F  Cm
        Gm  D  F  Eb7M

Gm           D     F         Cm
Ever since I was a small boy
       Gm               D       F     Eb7M
No one else compared to you, no way
Gm      D              F         Bb
I always thought heroes stay close
    Gm           F       Bb   Eb7M
Whenever troubled times arose

D          Cm
I didn't know
D                  Dm    Eb
Ain't always how it goes

Gm           D        F      Cm
Every single word you told me
      Gm             D         F       Eb7M
I believed without a question, always
   Gm          D       F               Bb
To save all of us, you told us both to trust
    Gm             F          Bb       Eb7M
But now I know you only saved yourself

D                       Cm
Did you think I'd never know?
D                  Dm     Eb
Never wise up as I grow?

Gm   D       F                  Cm           Gm
         And you could store an ocean in the holes
       D           F                Eb7M
In any of the explanations that you gave
Gm    D                   F         Bb
  And while you still had time, you had a chance
    Gm          F                Bb             Eb7M
But you decided to take all your sorries to the grave

D                       Cm
Did you think I'd never know?
D                  Cm
Never wise up as I grow?
D                      Cm
Did you hope I'd never doubt?
D                     Cm
Never wonder, work it out?

C                          Em
You were runnin' for cover
Bm7                  Em
Doin' like any other
C                        Em
Fallin' out with a lover
Bm7                             Em
You didn't know that I suffered
Bm7                       Em
What a thing to discover
C                        Em
There was time to recover
C                         Em
One-on-one with each other
C                      Em
Just a boy and a father
Bm7                      Em
What I'd give for another
C                      Em
Everything that I have
Bm7                        Em
Wouldn't need this for long
C                      Em
Never speak of the time
Bm7                   Em
That you left us alone
Bm7                    Em
Me and Steve on our own
C                              Em
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
C                           Em
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
C                          Em
Wanna play you all my songs
Bm7                        Em
Learn the words, sing along

(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time
         Bm7                Em
(I know) I was in Abbey Road
C                     Em
Or the time that I had
Bm7                     Em
Mick Jagger on the phone
Bm7                           Em
I thought of you when we spoke
C                            Em
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
C                           Em
Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Hear your voice sing along
      C                                  Em
(This time) I wanna say, "It's all right"
         Bm7                        Em
(I know) You're just a man after all
C                         Em
And I know you have demons
Bm7                 Em
I got some of my own
Bm7                          Em
I think you passed them along
C                            Em
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
C                           Em
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
C                          Em
Wanna play you all my songs
Bm7                           Em
And hear your voice sing along
