VERSE:
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I guess what's done is done.
G
I just feel so exposed without you near.
BREAK:
Em G
And I won't say that I'm okay,
Em
'Cause you taught me not to lie,
G A
So know that I'll miss you everyday.
PRE-CHORUS:
D
You always taught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
G
But I know that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
Em
'Cause I miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
A
Now I'm stuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
CHORUS:
D
So I'm sitting in my room
As I try to write this song.
G
I'm so sorry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
Em
And I keep bursting into tears
Because the pain won't go away,
A
Because the father took my best friend
And said she cannot come out to play
D G D G (Intro)
Anymore.
REFRAIN:
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I guess what's done is done.
G
I just feel so exposed without you near.
BREAK:
Em G
And I won't say that I'm okay,
Em
'Cause you taught me not to lie,
G A
So know that I'll miss you everyday.
PRE-CHORUS:
D
You always taught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
G
But I know that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
Em
'Cause I miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
A
And now I'm stuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
CHORUS:
D
And now I'm sitting in my room
As I try to write this song.
G
I'm so sorry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
Em
But I will try my best to be good
So I can pay my way,
A
Straight through the pearly gates
Into your arms so we can play
D
Once more.
SPOKEN OUTRO:
(play "Intro" until the end)
D
Grandma, Uh, I love God with all my heart
G
And uh, The only reason that isn't
D
Stated in my life is because of you
And I really don't understand the God
That you introduced me to
Would take you away so fast
D
When you were the only person
That ever understood a thing I ever said
And I really don't know
D
How to deal with this anymore
And, I'm just really not okay with this
G
And I miss you and I understand you're in heaven
D
But I don't want to be selfish
I don't want you to be in heaven
I want you to be back down here
I don't want you to be there
G
I want you to be here
What am I supposed to do now
That's all I'm asking
