 Gm                     D         F                 Cm 
Ever since I was a small boy
               Gm                             D             F         Eb7M 
No one else compared to you, no way
 Gm           D                           F                 Bb 
I always thought heroes stay close
         Gm                     F             Bb     Eb7M 
Whenever troubled times arose
 D                   Cm 
I didn't know
 D                                   Dm       Eb 
Ain't always how it goes
 Gm                     D               F           Cm 
Every single word you told me
             Gm                         D                 F             Eb7M 
I believed without a question, always
       Gm                   D             F                             Bb 
To save all of us, you told us both to trust
         Gm                         F                   Bb             Eb7M 
But now I know you only saved yourself
 D                                             Cm 
Did you think I'd never know?
 D                                   Dm         Eb 
Never wise up as I grow?

 Gm     D             F                                   Cm                     Gm 
                  And you could store an ocean in the holes
               D                     F                               Eb7M 
In any of the explanations that you gave
 Gm       D                                     F                 Bb 
    And while you still had time, you had a chance
         Gm                   F                               Bb                         Eb7M 
But you decided to take all your sorries to the grave
 D                                             Cm 
Did you think I'd never know?
 D                                   Cm 
Never wise up as I grow?
 D                                           Cm 
Did you hope I'd never doubt?
 D                                         Cm 
Never wonder, work it out?

 C                                                   Em 
You were runnin' for cover
 Bm7                                   Em 
Doin' like any other
 C                                               Em 
Fallin' out with a lover
 Bm7                                                         Em 
You didn't know that I suffered
 Bm7                                             Em 
What a thing to discover
 C                                               Em 
There was time to recover
 C                                                 Em 
One-on-one with each other
 C                                           Em 
Just a boy and a father
 Bm7                                           Em 
What I'd give for another
 C                                           Em 
Everything that I have
 Bm7                                               Em 
Wouldn't need this for long
 C                                           Em 
Never speak of the time
 Bm7                                     Em 
That you left us alone
 Bm7                                       Em 
Me and Steve on our own
 C                                                           Em 
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
 C                                                     Em 
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
 C                                                   Em 
Wanna play you all my songs
 Bm7                                               Em 
Learn the words, sing along

             C                                                                     Em 
(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time
                   Bm7                               Em 
(I know) I was in Abbey Road
 C                                         Em 
Or the time that I had
 Bm7                                         Em 
Mick Jagger on the phone
 Bm7                                                     Em 
I thought of you when we spoke
 C                                                       Em 
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
 C                                                     Em 
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
 C                                                   Em 
Wanna play you all my songs
 Bm7                                             Em 
Hear your voice sing along
             C                                                                   Em 
(This time) I wanna say, "It's all right"
                   Bm7                                               Em 
(I know) You're just a man after all
 C                                                 Em 
And I know you have demons
 Bm7                                 Em 
I got some of my own
 Bm7                                                   Em 
I think you passed them along
 C                                                       Em 
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
 C                                                     Em 
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
 C                                                   Em 
Wanna play you all my songs
 Bm7                                                     Em 
And hear your voice sing along
