Verse 1
[Gm] [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
[Gm] [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
[Gm] [C]
Every step I take, you used to lead the way
[F] [Dm]
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
Chorus
[Gm]
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
[Gm]
Is it fair?
[C]
You'll never know the person I'll be
[F]
You're not there
[Dm]
With me...
Verse 2
[Gm] [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
[Gm] [C] [F]
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
[Dm]
At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd
Pre-Chorus
[Gm] [C]
Every step I take, you used to lead the way
[F] [Dm]
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
Chorus
[Gm]
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
[Gm]
Is it fair?
[C]
You'll never know the person I'll be
[F]
You're not there
[Dm]
With me...
Break
[Gm]
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
[Gm] [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
[Gm]
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
[Gm]
Is it fair?
[C]
You'll never know the person I'll be
[F]
You're not there
[Dm]
With me...
