Verse
G
I met superman with you
Charlie Brown and Jesus too
On those nights I couldn't sleep
You were always there with me
C D Em
When I was young and faint of heart
Am C
You'd tell me stories in the dark
G
And when I felt I couldn't fly
You and peter took me on a ride
You said "son don't be afraid to die."
we had an awfully great adventure
C D Em
Now so much of who we are
Am C
Is in those stories in the dark
C G
What we learned when we were young
Am
Sets the table for our lives
C G
Bread we break it fills our hearts
Am
It feeds our loss
C Em Am C
And even though you're not here anymore
G
I hear your voice
