[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I was _ five, that's when [C#m] you _ died.
My mother [F#m] told me I'd never [B] see you again.
All [E] I remember _ is that [C#m] I _ didn't want her [A] to see me,
to see [B] me cry.
So I [G#] said, don't [A] worry mama, [E] you're so young [F#m] and so beautiful.
[A] _ You will find someone [E] to love [F#m] and to cherish [A] you.
I'll never forget how [E] she looked [F#m] laying in her [A] bed
with thousands of people _ [E] outside [F#m] singing, give [A] peace a _ _ chance.
[C#m] _ I would [A] do anything [B] for one _ [E]
conversation [C#m] with you.
Even [A] to walk down [B] the street with you [E]
would be so [C#m] cool.
Seems like [A] the whole world [B] had more time [E] with you than [A] I _ _ did.
But the dead don't [B]
speak, [E] they listen. _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I was alone _ _ almost [C#m] every day.
Felt like [F#m] my mother was always [B] _ away.
All that [E] I knew of you was what people [C#m] told me.
Though I [A] _ remember _ the [B] _ scar on your chin
[G#] and [A] the sound of your [E] voice every time [F#m] that you said [A] goodnight.
Your favorite TV [E] show was [F#m]
Jekyll and _ [A] Hyde.
And that you played the [E] piano, [F#m] well now so do _ [A] I.
Every note that [E] I play [F#m] _
goes [A] up to the sky.
_ _ [C#m] _ I would [A] do anything [B] for one _ [E]
conversation [C#m] with you.
Even [A] to walk [B] down the street [E] with you would be so [C#m] cool.
[A] Seems like the whole world [B] had more [E] time with you than [A] I did. _
But the dead [B] don't speak, they [E] listen.
_ [C#m] _
_ [A] The dead [B] don't speak, _ they [E] listen.

When?
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ 1973, we didn't [Bm] have this house yet.
_ [C#] _
That's when we bought this house. _ _
20 years before you were born.
[G] _ [B]
Was _ _ you to find this house?
No, you weren't born yet, you were still in the sky.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Was there here, [G#]
what did I learn in_
A little _ _ [G] cardboard box with a little blanket [Bm] in it.
Very tiny cardboard box.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ Tiny, very tiny, a little teeny tiny [B] cardboard box.
They used to have [Bm] apples in it. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I [B] never heard of an apple box.
A little cardboard box like that.
_ Like they bring the groceries in and it's you instead of the [G] groceries. _ _ _
