D
He didn?t ask
A
He didn?t pry
Bm D/F# G
He just held the ice that covered my black eye

When that girl, she broke my heart
Bm D/F# G
We just threw that baseball back and forth till dark
A D/F# G
When I started playing guitar, and didn?t have a clue
A D/F# G
He wanted to protect me, but somehow my father knew
Chorus
D
That you can cry for
A
live and die for
Bm D/F# G
You can help them find their wings but you can?t fly for
D A
Cause if they?re not free to fall, then they?re not free at all
Bm D/F# G
And though you just can?t bear the thought of letting go

Pick em up?. dust em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road
INTRO AGAIN
D A
Little kiss, on a skinned up knee
Bm D/F# G
From playing soccer, riding bikes, and climbing trees
D A
When bad dreams, fill their heads
Bm D/F# G
I chase the monsters out from underneath their beds
A D/F# G
Guess I always knew those days, would end
A D/F# G
But the hardest thing I?ve ever learned has been?
