[Eb] _ _ _ Even if you don't, I still remember [Fm] it all You were my shelter from the rain [Eb] when it
fell _ I would [Gm] call, but [Ab] never came
_ I'm not perfect, but I swear I've [Eb] changed _ I still hear your voice, it ricochets [Fm] off
these walls Give me the words and I'll explain [Cm] why
I faltered from grace And for all I hold [Ab] the blame
Just give me one more chance I'll fight the war I'm [Eb] scared to face
First things first, I know this letter might be long overdue
Just wanna tell you it's been hard for me to tackle the [Fm] truth
And watching you become a shell of who I knew in my youth
You were the glue that kept the family from splitting [Cm] in two
And what you have to go through, I bet you feel so alone
You were my shelter back when everything was messy at [Ab] home
When no one else was there, I knew you'd always answer your phone
Now when they ask you who I am, it hurts you might not [Eb] know
Damn, guess I'll remember for us both Remember when we saw those whales and you
threw up on [Fm] the boat Remember spending days at Fenway, those are
days I miss the most Remember how you cracked a smile when I told
you that [Cm] I wrote And then you told me you believed in me and
my dreams, face it It's back when I'd record on a USB in [Ab] the
basement And now I'm here helpless and honestly fucking
hated I know you hate when I swear, but I don't
know how else [Eb] to say it I remember all the stories you told me about
me and Graham I know you still remember her laugh, the touch
of [Fm] her hands They try to say you can't, don't think anyone
understands She's a part of who you are like you're a
part of who [Cm] I am And damn, when Dad and Graham look down,
I wonder if it makes them sad where the fam's at [Ab] now
And when I stand up on stage, where the music is loud and look out
I swear I see the faces out of the [Eb] crowd What hurts the most is that you're here but
haven't seen you in years But not because of lack of trying, I want
that to be [Fm] clear The situation's way more complicated than
it appears And when I think about it all, it always brings
me to [Cm] tears I fear that your memory fades
And the dementia makes its way through every inch of your [Ab] brain
You'll forget about me and all the memories made
I'm not okay, I guess what I'm trying to [Eb] say is
Even if you don't, I still remember [Fm] it all [Bb] You were my shelter from the rain [Cm] when it
fell I would call but never [Ab] came
I'm not perfect but I swear I've [Eb] changed _ I still hear your voice, it ricochets off
[Fm] _ _ these walls Give me the words and I'll explore
[Cm] I faltered from bliss and flew all out of [Ab] the plane
Just give me one more chance, I'll fight the war I'm [Eb] scared to face
Just know it kills me to feel like I let them down
[Bb] When all I really ever wanted was to make you proud
I miss all of the stories and the wisdom that would spill out of your mouth
Now when we have a conversation, you could barely make a [Cm] sound
Everything's so different now, I have this hole in my heart
When you moved in that past, the whole fam fell [Abm] apart
Now having neither of you here has been so terribly hard
The truth is y'all were the light when my thoughts got [Eb] dark
I heard you had a birthday and I missed it I look around the room and not a single relative
See on [Fm] Christmas, sometimes I feel the distance has led to us acting distant
Nothing is the [D] same, things change in [Cm] an instant
Now, I should probably call Always say I will but I always drop the ball
[Ab] Damn, you see the truth is I'm a coward trying to stall
The inevitable fact when they all call And there'll be nothing you would [Eb] call
And I'm appalled that this is how this all played out
A beautiful mind that we just have to watch fade [Fm] out
See you're the one who taught me [Bb] how to make a home out of a house
And the happiness is [Gm] found when you live in the right [Cm] now
Not the future or past, just want my pre-father packed
Would've hung on to the moments if I knew they wouldn't [Ab] last
Just know I'm grateful now for every single second we had
It's that you'll never see a show I ever get to see me [Eb] rap
And that's that, fuck, sick of feeling stuck
Sick of feeling like everybody is giving [Fm] up
Sick of always feeling like I'll never be enough
Cause I tried to wear your shoes but I can [Cm] never fill them up
I'll never know a world where I'm able to let you go
Even though I know to let go of the things that I can't [Ab] control
It's sad you'll never see me with a family of my own
But know that when that day comes you'll be a hero in a [Eb] home, so
_ Even if you don't, I still [Gm] remember [Fm] it all
You were my shelter from the [Cm] rain when it fall
I would call but [Ab] never came
_ I'm not perfect but I swear I've [Eb] changed
I still hear your voice it ricochets off [Fm] these walls
Give me the words and I'll explain why [Cm] I found faith in grace
And for all I hold [Ab] for blame
I _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ wish I knew the things I told you turned to things you'd [Bb] forget _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] I wish I knew the things I told you turned to [Gm] things you'd [Ab] forget _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
