Introduction: Gm D F Cm Gm D F Eb7M
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
