INTRO: G C G C
VERSE:
I won't h[G]old my tongue.
I'm not okay without [C]you here.
I guess what's d[G]one is done.
I just feel so exposed without [C]you near.
BREAK:
[Am] And I won't say that I'm okay, [C]
[Am] 'Cause you taught me not to lie,
So know that I'll miss you everyday[C].[D]
PRE-CHORUS:
You always t[G]aught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
But I k[C]now that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
'Cause I [Am]miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
Now I'm s[D]tuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
CHORUS:
So I'm si[G]tting in my room
As I try to write this song.
I'm so s[C]orry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
And I keep [Am]bursting into tears
Because the pain won't go away,
Because the f[D]ather took my best friend
And said she cannot come out to play
Anymore.[G][C][G][C]
REFRAIN:
I won't h[G]old my tongue.
I'm not okay without [C]you here.
I won't h[G]old my tongue.
I'm not okay without [C]you here.
I won't h[G]old my tongue.
I'm not okay without [C]you here.
VERSE:
I guess what's d[G]one is done.
I just feel so exposed without [C]you near.
BREAK:
[Am] And I won't say that I'm okay, [C]
[Am] 'Cause you taught me not to lie,
So know that I'll miss you everyday.[C][D]
PRE-CHORUS:
You always t[G]aught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
But I k[C]now that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
'Cause I [Am]miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
And now I'm s[D]tuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
CHORUS:
And now I'm s[G]itting in my room
As I try to write this song.
I'm so s[C]orry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
But I will [Am]try my best to be good
So I can pay my way,
Straight th[D]rough the pearly gates
Into your arms so we can play
Once m[G]ore.
SPOKEN OUTRO: (play Ab, Db over and over until end)
[G]Grandma, Uh, I love God with all my heart
And [C]uh, The only reason that isn't
Stated in my life is because of you[G]
And I really don't understand it God
That you introduced me to
What would take you away so fast
When[C] you were the only person
That ever understood a thing I ever said
And I really don't understand
How to deal with this anymore[G]
And, I'm just really not okay with this
And[C] I miss you and I understand you're in heaven
But I don't want to be selfish[G]
I don't want you to be in heaven
I want you to be back down here
I don't want you to be there
I want you to be here[C]
What am I supposed to do now
G C G C fade out...
That's all I'm asking
