[Verse 1]
AI've never kC#nown a better writer Dor a better Aguy
F#mHis songs wouldn't just toEuch you, they'd Dpunch you in the eAye
IDt doesn't happen a lot, but Aeverybody says the same that hC#e wasn't supposed to F#mdie
BmSo let's clink our bDeers
And give three cDmheers
To Tony ASly
[Verse 2]
AI never heard a bad word about C#him
I never Dheard a bad meloAdy
His dyinF#mg isn't tEragic: it’s a Dfucking catastropAhe
I've lDost my parents, and so many frienEds
I taC#ke it "c'est F#mla vie"
It's Bmnothing like Dlosing my Dmfriend TAony
[Verse 3]
ASometimes on weeC#kends when our kDids'd hang out tAogether
KF#meira tells DaErla that her daDd's songs are bAetter
And I thiDnk she's sad
Ecause tomorrow she hopes her dC#ad
is coming F#mhome
BmCuz he told her Dthat three years Dmago on the phone
[Bridge 1]
F#mTony, you make me see myF#m/Fself
F#m/EIn a way I don'Bmt wanna see
F#mDo I have tF#m/Fo stop lF#m/Eiving so reckBmlessly?
DSo I can be the father, I know I can be
[Bridge 2]
F#m Bm E A G#(x2)
[Verse 4]
AAll the endless C#nights we had
D20 years of lAaughs
F#mI've looked, but I Ecan't find Dany phAotographs
DOf us because it's weirEd to take
C#Photos with your F#mbest friends
BmCause you don't thinDk
That you Dmnever see them Aagain
[Verse 5]
AI'm sorry that I wasn't C#there for you
DWhen you needed me in the eAnd
I F#mwas there to give yEou eulogy
DBut not when you needed a friAend
DAnd when they lowered your body Einto the ground even the pC#iper began to F#mcry
FBmrom coast to coast
DLet's raise our drinks aDmnd give a toast
ATo Tony Sly
