As a child there were them times 
Em                       Bm7
I didn't get it but you kept me in line 
          C                               G/B
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times 
                          Am7
On Sunday mornings and I missed you 
                 D11
But I'm glad we talked through 
          G                    D/F#
All them grown full things separation brings 
     Em                        Bm7
You never let me know it, you never let it show 
             C               G/B
Because you loved me and obviously 
               Am7
Theres so much more left so say 
             D11                   G
If you were with me today face to face 


Chorus:
              D/F#               Em                 
I never knew I could hurt like this 
             Bm7     
And everyday life goes on like 
    C
I wish I could talk to you for awhile 
 G/B
Miss you but I try not to cry 
Am7        D11
As time    goes by 
G                      D/F#            Em
And as soon as you reached a better place 
                     Bm7               C
Still I’ll give the world to see your face 
                         
(bye) And be back here next to you 
G/B
(bye)It feels like you're gone too soon

And you never got a chance to see how good I’ve done 
         Em                                Bm7
And you never got to see me back at number one 
C                                 G/B
I wish that you were here to celebrate together 
Am7                                D11
I wish that we could spend the holidays together 
     G                              D/F#
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night 
          Em                           Bm7
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight 
    C
I thought you were so strong 
               G/B
You'd make it through whatever 
     Am7                               D11          G
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever
