Introduction:
Dm7
When I was younger, I would argue in my head
C
I didn&rsquo t want to go a burden I felt that I had
Am
I&rsquo ll go next time that&rsquo s the thing I always said
G
But now that you are gone all these thoughts running thru my head
Dm7 C
Because as all the years went by, you were always by my side
Am G
Throughout all the tears I cried
Dm7 Am
Now that I'm older, I realize that you were
C Am G
Just doing the best you could do
Dm7 Am
Told you, "One day, I&rsquo ll have a son or a daughter
C Am G
And when I'm a father oh
C
I hope that I am just like you"
Dm7
I hope that I am just like you
Am
I hope that I am just like you
C G
I hope that I am just like you
Dm7
Now I realize what it&rsquo s like to be alone
C
That you aren&rsquo t going to answer when I call you on the phone
Am
And it hurts me because I didn&rsquo t get to say goodbye

Now every time I hear your name I just want to cry
