Key: A
Introduction:
G
Why didn't you call?
D
My phone's always on
G
Why didn't you call?
D
Before you got gone
G
And I can't say for certain what I would have said
D G
But now I am helplessly silent instead
G
There's a hole in my heart and in my head
D
Why didn't you call?
G D
Why didn't you say something, on the last time we met?
G D
Why didn't you say something? There's always hope left
G
And I can't say for certain what I would have done
D G
But I can't do anything now that you're gone
G D
And it kills me to think that for a second you felt alone
A Bm A G
Now you can measure the mark of a man on the day that he died
A Bm G
In the mixture of memory and wreckage that he leaves behind
Em D/F# G A
And I know you were carrying too much weight on the evening when you slipped away
Bm A G A D
But I loved you like a brother, man, and I never really had a chance to say
G D
So at half past nine each evening, I'll think of my friend
G D
And at half past nine, I'll remember you were better than your end
G D G
Cause I too have stood up on that ledge, but I know you'd have pulled me back down from the edge
G D
And I let you down in your darkness, I wasn't there
G Bm
So I'll remember you making a hole through the kids in the crowd
G Bm
And I remember you lifting me up, each time I fell down
G
And I'll glance at the barrier when I'm watching the band
D G
And I'll expect to see you there stood on the foot stand
Em D G
But I guess I will see someone else
Em D G
That's when I'll whisper to myself
A G D
Brother I miss you like hell...
