Verse 1:
A Esus4 E
Dad I know you were sad when you died
A D A E
And I was young it's the way I kept you in my mind
A Esus4 E
The mess that was left and my mother cried
A D A E
And when she stood up she was nobody's mother I'd be fine
Chorus 1:
D A
But I missed you then
D A
And I miss you now
F#m A E
Liked you'd missed things I might say
D A
You're still lost in clouds
D A
But I'm older now
F#m A E
I can see through lifting haze
Bm A E D
That you were away even when you were here
Verse 2:
A Esus4 E
Sometimes a phrase or a manner that's you
A D
Comes through me, it goes in a flash
A E
It's a frame, it's a blink like life
A Esus4 E
Oh and how much now should we pay for the past
A D A E
Cause you could age with grace if I freed you in my mind
Chorus 2:
D A
But I loved you then
D A
And I love you now
F#m A E
All the things I wished I'd asked
D A
When I'm lost in clouds
D A
I remember how
F#m A E
I was robbed and I was blessed
Bm Bm
And you were away even when you were here
Bridge:
F#m E Bm
Cause it's not about you, not you, anymore
F#m E
It's about what I'd do with it all
C#7 D A D A F#m A E
And I, I'll never let you let me down
Break:
D A D A F#m A E
Outro:
A Esus4 E
This morning I wake to be older than you were
A D A E
fresh like snow, for miles, every footstep will be mine
D A D A
You'd have lost that weight, you'd have gone so straight
F#m A E
You'd have made my wedding day
D A D A
You'd have saved my youth from that point of truth
F#m A E
You'd have kept those wolves at bay
Bm D A
But you were away, you were away even when you were here
