[N] [A]
[F#]
When you were alive [B] I was never alone Somewhere [C#] in the world [B] there was something called [F#] home
And as long as you lived I would be [B] alright There [C#] were reasons to win [B] and incentives [F#] to fight
[A] Now I'm smoking [C#]
again I thought all that was [F#]
through
And [G#m] I don't want to live [B] But what else can [C#] I do?
[F#] And I feel like I've faked all that I ever [B] did [C#] And I've grown a grey beard
[B] But I cry like [F#] a kid
I was seven when I sang [B] you Rise and the Bold
[C#] There in Aunt Mary's kitchen [B]
And I don't guess [F#] I know
That it's why [C#] I've done [F#] this For all of this [B] time
But [C#] now playing and singing [B]
Seems a [F#] game or a crime
[B] [C#] People have called to [F#] find out if I'm fine I [G#m] assure them I am
But I'm [B] not,
[C#] it's a lie
[F#] They say in the end your good friends pull [B] you through
[C#] But everyone knows [B] my best friend was [F#] you
Hey, I've gotten [C#] some help [F#]
I guess I was [B] afraid
You [E] suppose something [C#] will happen [B] when someone is [F#] paid
But I am getting better Once again I'll [B] be strong
After [C#] all, listen, [B]
I'm singing this [F#] song
[B] When you were [C#] alive I was never [F#] alone
[G#m] Somewhere in the world [B] There was something [C#]
called home
Now [F#]
I feel like I'm homeless But I will [B] be alright
[C#] I'll [G#m] get [C#] through the [B] days And I'll face down the [F#] night
[B]
