SPOKEN OUTRO: (play Ab, Db over and over until end)
G
Grandma, Uh, I love God with all my heart
C
And uh, The only reason that isn't
G
Stated in my life is because of you
And I really don't understand it God
That you introduced me to
What would take you away so fast
C
When you were the only person
That ever understood a thing I ever said
And I really don't understand
G
How to deal with this anymore
And, I'm just really not okay with this
C
And I miss you and I understand you're in heaven
G
But I don't want to be selfish
I don't want you to be in heaven
I want you to be back down here
I don't want you to be there
C
I want you to be here
What am I supposed to do now
G C G C fade out...
That's all I'm asking
