[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Eb] I don't know why _ _ [Bb] God always takes the good ones [Gm] first.
[Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ And [Eb] man, I've tried to [Bb] be strong and carry on, but [Cm] damn, this hurts.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ And I [Bb] just wish that I could talk to [Cm] you again somehow, someway.
[Bb] Even if it's for a moment, [Ab] so I can hear you say,
[Eb] Don't cry for me, I'm alright.
[Bb] _ I'm [Cm] better than [Eb] you know.
_ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] And this life can be short or [Bb] right, so [Cm] don't waste [Eb] it on sorrow.
_ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] And [Bb] just hold on to those moments [Cm] and the memories we shared.
[Bb] We're both headed for the same place [Ab] anyway.
_ I just beat [Eb] you there. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Eb] I know they say, _ _ [Bb] just give it a little time, you'll [Cm] be okay.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] That might [Eb] be true.
_ _ [Bb] It don't really heal me [Cm] today. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And [Bb] we ain't supposed to question [Cm] the man upstairs.
There's [Bb] just so much I don't understand.
[Ab] It just don't seem fair.
Don't [Eb] cry for me, [Bb] I'm alright.
_ [Cm] _ I'm better _ than you [Ab] know.
_ _ [Eb] And this life can be _ [Bb] short or right, [Cm] so don't waste it on [Ab] sorrow.
_ _ _ [Bb] And just hold on to those [Eb] moments and [Cm] the memories we shared.
We're [Eb] both headed for the same place [Ab] anyway. _ _
I just beat you [Eb] there.
_ _ And as [Bb] each day goes by, I get a [Cm] little bit stronger. _
_ Cause that don't [Bb] stop me from wishing you [Ab] were here a little bit [Eb] longer. _ _
_ Oh, [Bb] oh, oh, oh, [Cm] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
_ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ So [Eb] I'm gonna smile when I think of you.
_ [Cm] Like I know you'd want me [Ab] to.
_ _ _ [Eb] And I know you're watching [Bb] over me. _
[Cm] And everything I [Ab] do. _
_ And all those [Bb] things I never got to [Eb] say.
[Cm] Well, I'll send them with this prayer.
[Bb] Then look up, wipe my tears, and raise [Ab] my beer. _ _
[Bb] Mm-hmm.
_ _ And I'll [Eb] see you there. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ Oh, [Eb] _
[Cm] oh, oh, oh, oh, [Ab] oh, oh. _
[Eb] And I'll see you there. _ _ _
[Bb] Oh, _ [Eb] oh, [Cm] oh, oh, oh, oh. _
