Capo: 3rd fret
[G] [D]
This is for my people who just lost somebody
[Em] [C]
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
[G] [D]
Put your hand way up high
[Cadd9] [D]
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
[G] [D]
Mamas, Daddas, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
[Em] [C]
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
[G] [D]
Lift your head to the sky
[Cadd9] [D]
'Cause we will never say bye
[Em] [C]
As a child, there were them times
[G] [D]
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
[Em] [C]
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times
[D]
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
[D]
But I'm glad we talked through
[Em] [C]
All them grown folk things separation brings
[G]
You never let me know it
[D]
You never let it show
[Em] [C]
Because you loved me, and obviously
[G]
There's so much more left to say
[D] [G]
If you were with me today face to face
Chorus:
[G] [D] [Em]
I never knew I could hurt like this
[Em] [D]
And everyday life goes on
[Cadd9]
I wish that I could talk to you for awhile
[Cadd9]
Miss you but I try not to cry
[Em] [C] [D] [G]
As time goes by
[G] [D] [Em]
And it's true that you've reached a better place
[Em] [D]
Still I'd give the world to see your face
[Cadd9]
And be right here next to you
[Cadd9]
But it's like you're gone too soon
[Em] [C]
Now the hardest thing to do is say
[D]
Bye bye
[G] [D]
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
[D] [Cadd9]
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
[Cadd9] [D]
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
[D]
Bye bye
[Em] [C]
And you never got a chance to see how good I've done
[G] [D]
And you never got to see me back at number one
[Cadd9] [G]
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
[Cadd9] [D]
And I wish we could've spent the holidays together
[Em] [C]
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
[G] [D]
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
[Cadd9] [G]
I thought you were so strong you'd make it through whatever
[Cadd9] [D]
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever
Chorus:
[G] [D] [Em]
I never knew I could hurt like this
[Em] [D]
And everyday life goes on
[Cadd9]
I wish that I could talk to you for awhile
[Cadd9]
Miss you but I try not to cry
[Em] [C] [D] [G]
As time goes by
[G] [D] [Em]
And it's true that you've reached a better place
[Em] [D]
Still I'd give the world to see your face
[Cadd9]
And be right here next to you
[Cadd9]
But it's like you're gone too soon
[Em] [C]
Now the hardest thing to do is say
[D]
