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