_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G]
occurred [A] to me the other [C] day
_ _ _ [G]
you've been gone now a couple [Em] years
_ _ [C]
well I guess it takes a [G] while
for _ [Em]
someone to really [C] disappear
_ _ _ [G]
I remember [C] where it was
_ _ [G]
when the word came [Em] about you
_ _ _ [C]
it was a day [G] much like today
the [B]
[Em] sky was bright and white [C] and blue
and I wonder where [G] you are
I [C] know the pain is when you [D] die
_ _ [C] _
_ if there [Em] was _ [C] some better way to say [D] goodbye
_ _ [G] _
today my heart is [C] big and sore
it's _ [G] _
trying to push air through [Em] my skin
_ _ [C] _
won't see you [G] anymore
_ [Bm] I guess that's why I'm here
so [C] I guess _ _ _ [G]
you can't make somebody [C] see _ _ _
with the simple [Em] words you say
_ [C] _
all their [G] beauty from the dead
_ [Em] _
sometimes they just [C] walk away
_ and I wonder where you [G] _ are
[C] I know the pain is when [D] you die
_ _ [C] _
_ if [Bm] there was [Em] _ [C] some better way to say [D] goodbye
_ [C] some better way to say [D] goodbye
hey _
[C] _ _ _ [D] hey _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] hey _ _ _
_ _ _ _ hey _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ hey hey _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
thank _ _ [N] _ you so much
thank you for the song this is weird
I started I just haven't played this song for a couple years
and then [Eb] I just decided to start playing it recently
and it [Eb] became a current event
I woke up a few well this is a really old song [D] of mine
and I woke up in the middle of the night one night
[G] in like 1993 and had this very clear picture in my head
of Christina Onassis' face
you know as we all do from time to time
wake up in the middle of the night [Bb] thinking Christina Onassis' face
and [G] anyway I got up and wrote this song
and [Eb] for those of you really young young young [Bb] youngsters
_ [Dm] that don't know who Christina Onassis [F] is
she was the daughter of the [Bm] stepdaughter of Jackie Kennedy Onassis
and the [D] daughter of the wealthiest man in the world for a [Bb] time
and she [G] had sort of a really tragic series of love affairs
and people after her money
and she finally found her joy in her child
and her child was probably [B] about four or five years old
and one day she had a heart attack and passed away
it was really sad [Bb] I shouldn't laugh it's not I don't know why I do that
anyway [Eb] to work on that therapy anyway
_ _ _ [E] anyway her daughter just came into the fortune
[D] like last week it's really weird
[Eb] _ _ [N] _
