[A] [D]
[E] [F#m] [D]
[E]
[A] My father's [E]
chair, he'll [C#m] stand in [D] there all [E] alone.
[F#m] [D]
[E] Now [A] it's three years on, [E] and I'm still [A] feeling [D] he'll [E] come home.
[F#m] We'll [D] be roomies,
[E] so where's [C#m] his heels?
[D]
I [E] was told that pain [A] would [D] ease, but it [E] still hurts.
[F#m] Last [D]
[E] [D]
[A] night, my brother, [F#m] my mother [E] and I, [D]
looking up [C#m] at a distant star.
[E] [Bm]
Wishing [A] we could [D]
reach that [E] far.
[D] [A] Back in the heart, [F#m] and alone, [E]
[Bm] we told [A] each other, [D]
[A] [D]
where's [E] my [A] father's chair?
[E] [A] [D]
[E] [F#m] [D]
[E]
[A] I watched my [E] family, we [C#m] hold on, [D] we are [E] strong, [F#m] and [D] we'll be young.
[E] The clock [D] continues [A] counting down [E]
all [A] the wine, [D] and [E] every [F#m] child, [D] I'll share it all.
I
[E] do [C#m] this again, [D]
why [E] am I still [A] so filled with doubt?
[D] In [E] my soul, [F#] never [D]
found.
[E]
[D] [A] Why,
[F#m]
when I knew [E] you'd be gone,
[D] it's too bad, [C#m] it's been too long.
[E] Why [Bm] do they need [A] the weaker [D] spirit?
[E] Strong, [D]
[A] what else can
[F#m] I get you sick from [E] the smell?
[Bm] And I can't [A] find no comfort
[D] there.
[A] [D] All curse my [E] father.
