Intro
G Cadd9   - This is 90% of the song.
Verse 1
GShe gave her heart to a falling star 
Cadd9When news filtered through of his tragedy all the walls went up
GAround a world she declines 
As the tears from her eyes fall 
Cadd9No one understands, and no one will 
All she has lost
Chorus
GIf he's not here, then where? 
Cadd9If he's not here, then where? 
GIf he's not here then where? 
Cadd9If he's not here then where?
Verse 2
GWhen she found it there in the cold, blue glare 
Cadd9The words distressed and unfamiliar where the feelings seared
GAn emptiness had hung, and in her chest, she clenched 
Cadd9Reality settled as the memories raced while on the screen he lived
Bridge
EmShe teared; "Your selfishness has robbed you of the mDan you could've been 
CI wouldn't change a thing about you. I love you dearly, my friend"
Chorus (You can use the open chords here but I prefer to match the timing of the song with the "5" chords.)

G5If he's not here then where?
C5My love, Been searching for my Afterman
