[Intro]
| Gm | C/E | F | Dm | 2x
[Verse]
Gm C/E
I only got you in my stories
F
And you know I tell them right
Dm
And remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
Gm C/E
So give it up for fallen glory
F
I never got to say goodbye
Dm
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time
Gm C/E
Every step I take, you used to lead the way
F Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
[Chorus]
Gm
You're not there
C/E
To celebrate the man that you made
F
You're not there
Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
Gm
Is it fair?
C/E
You'll never know the person I'll be
F
You're not there
Dm
With me
[Verse 2]
Gm C/E
Though I know that you're not there
F
I still write you all these songs
Dm
It's like, you still got the right to know what's going on
Gm C/E F
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
Dm
Sometimes I still think i can spot you in the crowd
Gm C/E
Every step I take, you used to lead the way
F Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
[Chorus 2]
Gm
You're not there
C/E
To celebrate the man that you made
F
You're not there
Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
Gm
Is it fair?
C/E
You'll never know the person I'll be
F
You're not there
Dm
With me
[Bridge]
Bb(maj7)
Time can heal your wounds if
Gm
You're strong and standing tall
Am7 Dm
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
Bb(maj7)
They say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"
Am7
Yes, I will, but no it won't
Dm
They don't get it, cause
[Chorus 3]
Gm
You're not there
C/E
To celebrate the man that you made
F
You're not there
Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
Gm
Is it fair?
C/E
You'll never know the person I'll be
F
You're not there
Dm
With me
[Outro]
| Gm | C/E | F | Dm | 2x
