GLife is uBmnfair, so they tell me,
CBecause thGey think I wouldn't know.
CThey oGnly can see a cheap gimmick
On Atheir chDildren's favorite show.
They Bmsay, "Oh, Emthat's just foam and a wire,
BmAttached Emto a green velvet sleeve,
CAnyone caGn do that" -- well, that's true, I suppose,
    			     A  G-D  
But who else could make them believe? 
GWhat can I Bmsay without you there to guide me?
CHow elGse am I supposed to give?
CHow can I Bmsing without you there beside me?
AHow else Dam I supposed to live?
BmYou coEmuld never just do the expected,
			 C   G(Full)
I was just an idea in a bog,
BCut yoDu sewEmed uAp your dream and we made quite a team,
Jim anAd KeDrmit, a Gboy CanGd his frog. 
It was Bmme, Rolph, and you, but I Emthink that he knew
TheCre was Gsomething that you and I had.
    		       C  G-Em  
The magic we made just kept growing,
    			A  G-D  
And none of it ever was bad.
TheBmn camEme Ernie and Scooter and Gonzo,
Doctor BmTeeth, ECookie Monster, and more.
But Cnow Bmall of those voices are silent,
AAnd I Dwant to go on... but what for? 
GNo oBmne can make me what you did,
CNo one Gcould walk in your shoes,
		    C   G(Full)
Nothing can make me forget you,
    			       A  G-	D  
But that's not a path that I'd choose.
BmI can't jusEmt let it be over,
BmAnd you wouEmldn't want it that way,
			  C   G(full)
So I'll stand up and I'll face it,
And, Athough Dnot quite in your voice, I'll say: 
GI will gBmo on without you there to guide me,
CThere's Gso much more I can give.
WhenCever BmI sing, you will be there beside me,
As Along aDs I keep you, you'll live.
WBme just wanEmted to make people happy,
I was Calways Gmuch more than your toy.
I will CneDveEmr regret Aand I'll never forget
