Biography:
Dear Evan Hansen is nothing short of a Broadway sensation. With music and lyrics written by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul and book written by Stephen Levenson, the still-running 2015 musical tells the story of a lonely young man, the epnonymous Evan Hansen (played by Ben Platt until November 2017) tells a viral lie that escalates to crippling heights and serves as a commentary on our social media obsessed culture and tendency to selfishly wear other people's tragedies.

[Verse 1]
G5/B Csus2 G5/D D(add4)
It was a February day
G5/B C(add2) G5/D D(add4)
When your dad came by, before going away
G5/E D(add4) Am7
A U-Haul truck in the driveway
G5/D D(add4) G
The day it was suddenly real
G5/B Csus2 G5/D D(add4)
I told you not to come outside
G5/B C(add2) G5/D D(add4)
But you saw that truck and you smiled so wide
G5/E D(add4) Am7
A real live truck in your driveway
G5/D D(add4) G5
We let you sit behind the wheel
C5/E D(add4)/F# G(add2)
Goodbye... goodbye
Csus2 G5/B G5/E Fsus2
Now it's just me and my little guy
Csus/D C(add2) G(add2)
And the house felt so big,
Csus/D C(add2) G(add2)
And I felt so small
Csus/D C(add2) G
The house felt so big,
Csus/D C(add2) G5
And I felt so small
[Verse 2]
G5/B Csus2 G5/D D(add4)
That night, I tucked you into bed
G5/B C(add2) G5/D D(add4)
I will never forget how you sat up and said
G5/E D(add4) Am7
"Is there another truck comin' to our driveway?
G5/D D(add4) G
A truck that will take Mommy away"
G7sus/D C(add2) G(add2)
And the house felt so big,
G7sus/D C(add2) G(add2)
And I felt so small

The house felt so big, and I

And I knew there would be moments that I'd miss
C(add2) Em D(add4)
And I knew there would be space I couldn't fill

[Verse 3]
G5/B Csus2 G5/D D(add4)
But like that February day
G5/B C(add2) G5/D D(add4)
I will take your hand, squeeze it tightly and say
G5/E D(add4) Am7
"There's not another truck in the driveway
G5/B
Your Mom isn't goin' anywhere
C(add2)
Your Mom is stayin' right here"
G5/D
Your Mom isn't goin' anywhere

Your Mom is stayin' right here
Em
No matter what
G5/B
I'll be here
G7sus/D C(add2) G(add2)
When it all feels so big
G7sus/D C(add2) G(add2)

When it all feels so big
