Bb C
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
Bb C
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
Pre-Chorus
Bb C
Every step I take, you used lead the way
F Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
Bb
You're not there
C
To celebrate the man that you made
F
You're not there
Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
Bb
Is it fair?
C
You'll never know the person I'll be
F
You're not there
Dm
With me...
verse 2
Bb C
Though I know that you're not there
F
I still write you all these songs
Dm
It's like, you've got the right to know what's going on
Bb C 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
Pre-Chorus
Bb C
Every step I take, you used lead the way
F Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
Bb
You're not there
C
To celebrate the man that you made
F
You're not there
Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
Bb
Is it fair?
C
You'll never know the person I'll be
F
You're not there
Dm
With me...
Break
Bb
Time can heal your wounds if
C
You're strong and standing tall
F Dm
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
Bb C
They say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"
F
Yes, I will, but no it won't
Dm
They don't get it, cause...
Bb
You're not there
C
To celebrate the man that you made
F
You're not there
Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
Bb
Is it fair?
C
You'll never know the person I'll be
F
You're not there
Dm
