[Intro]
[Verse 1]
EbAll I hear are stories About this man before me
Like he was Absome type of God Who lost his shot
EbAnd just the other morning The sun was shining brighter then usual
AbI had to stop Look up at the sky and wonder
EbWhat would life be like if all those Stories they told were right
If he were Abstill here
EbWould he walk and talk the same Would he still remember my name
Tell me would he Abstill care Would he still care
[Pre Chorus]
GmI know its crazy to even Cmquestion those types of things
But it's Abbeen so long that I forgot now I don't even have memories
[Chorus]
CmJust the other dayEb  
I saw a photograph of a Abman who looked like me
He smiled the Bbsame and I saw Cmsimilarities
EbAnd every time I close my Abeyes I know he’s close bBby
CmJust the other dayEb  
I saw a photograph of a Abstranger I once knew
Yet everything I Bbdo is Cmall because of you
EbAnd late at night I close Abmy eyes I know he’s close Bbby
[Verse 2]
EbThe spark that lit the fire A younger boy trying to rule the world now
Eb/AbForced to learn alone How to make it on my own
I know EbI can take it higher Higher than he ever did before –
I will show Eb/Abeveryone back home That my heart is turned to stone
EbI may never get that chance to say those things I should have said
Eb/AbI still put the blame on me At times I wish it was me instead
EbNow all I have are photographs of a Ebman I barely knew
Would he Eb/Abbe the man these people say I hope this man is proud of me
[Pre Chorus]
GmI know its crazy to even Cmquestion those types of things
But it's Abbeen so long that I forgot now I don't even have memories
[Chorus]
CmJust the other dayEb  
I saw a photograph of a Abman who looked like me
He smiled the Bbsame and I saw Cmsimilarities
EbAnd every time I close my Abeyes I know he’s close bBby
CmJust the other dayEb  
I saw a photograph of a Abstranger I once knew
Yet everything I Bbdo is Cmall because of you
EbAnd late at night I close Abmy eyes I know he’s close Bbby
CmJust the other dayEb  
I saw a photograph of a Abman who looked like me

And every time I close my eAbyes He is right by my Bbside.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

All I hear are stories About this man before me

Like he was some type of God Who lost his shot

And just the other morning The sun was shining brighter then usual

I had to stop Look up at the sky and wonder

What would life be like if all those Stories they told were right

If he were still here

Would he walk and talk the same Would he still remember my name

Tell me would he still care Would he still care
