GNo one could give me a Dsolid Cadd9answer
GWhen we turned Daround the Cadd9corner
GI felt my entire Dbody Cadd9shake
Em7I swear it didn’t Glook like Cadd9him
Em7Those hands were Gdirty and that was Cadd9comforting
DAnd when she Em7said don’t be aCadd9fraid, for the last time I touched his face
[Verse 2]
 G   D   Cadd9(x2)
GAnd I drove over DSunday Cadd9morning
GI couldn’t stop sDhaking the whole Cadd9way
GAnd she walked over Dto the tCadd9hermostat
GSaid the house needDed to be wCadd9arm today
Em7And we all Gsat there in Cadd9silence
Em7Listening tGo our mother Cadd9cry
DAnd I felt it Em7when it Cadd9hit, I feel everything
[Verse 3]

GAnd I heard you prDacticing in the Cadd9shower
GAll the things you were Dgonna Cadd9say
GThough I didn’t hear Dspecific Cadd9words
GBoy, I tell you, you Dsounded Cadd9brave
Em7You were that Glittle bit too Cadd9late
Em7Probably wouldn’t have Gchanged him Cadd9anyway
DBut if I said that I Em7felt the Cadd9same, would it feel okay?
[Verse 4]
 G   D   Cadd9(x2)
GAnd I keep his Dphoto in my Cadd9wallet
GYeah, I watch home Dvideos Cadd9sometimes
GTo hear his voice aDnd see him Cadd9smile
GTo heal the Dimpact on my Cadd9life
Em7Still hoping I’ll Gsee him on the Cadd9street
Em7Or in the Ghouse he built Cadd9around me, my sisters, and my Dbrother
DFor the sCtrongest woman I’ve ever known, Gmy mother

Cadd9

Em7

[Intro] (x4)

G D Cadd9

[Verse 1]

G D Cadd9

When I asked what closure felt like

G D Cadd9

No one could give me a solid answer

G D Cadd9

When we turned around the corner

G D Cadd9

I felt my entire body shake

Em7 G Cadd9

I swear it didn’t look like him

Em7 G Cadd9

Those hands were dirty and that was comforting

D Em7 Cadd9

And when she said don’t be afraid, for the last time I touched his face

[Verse 2]

G D Cadd9

(x2)

G D Cadd9

And I drove over Sunday morning

G D Cadd9

I couldn’t stop shaking the whole way

G D Cadd9

And she walked over to the thermostat

G D Cadd9

Said the house needed to be warm today

Em7 G Cadd9

And we all sat there in silence

Em7 G Cadd9

Listening to our mother cry

D Em7 Cadd9

And I felt it when it hit, I feel everything

[Verse 3]

G D Cadd9

(x2)

G D Cadd9

And I heard you practicing in the shower

G D Cadd9

All the things you were gonna say

G D Cadd9

Though I didn’t hear specific words

G D Cadd9

Boy, I tell you, you sounded brave

Em7 G Cadd9

You were that little bit too late

Em7 G Cadd9

Probably wouldn’t have changed him anyway

D Em7 Cadd9

But if I said that I felt the same, would it feel okay?

[Verse 4]

G D Cadd9

(x2)

G D Cadd9

And I keep his photo in my wallet

G D Cadd9

Yeah, I watch home videos sometimes

G D Cadd9

To hear his voice and see him smile

G D Cadd9

To heal the impact on my life

Em7 G Cadd9

Still hoping I’ll see him on the street

Em7 G Cadd9 D

Or in the house he built around me, my sisters, and my brother

D C G

For the strongest woman I’ve ever known, my mother

[Verse 5]

G D Cadd9

(x2)

Em7 G Cadd9

And I keep his photo in my room

Em7 G Cadd9

And how he looked so much like you

G D Cadd9

Charlie, you’re gonna be okay

G D Cadd9

At least tomorrow, if not today

G D Cadd9

And Charlie, I’m gonna be okay

G D Cadd9

And there is no one we can blame

G D Cadd9

Charlie, you’re gonna be okay

G D Cadd9

At least tomorrow, if not today

G D Cadd9

Keep playing your songs everyday

G D Cadd9

Oh, and when you’re not okay

G D Cadd9

You can always call

G D Cadd9

And it was no one’s fault

[Outro]
