[Verse 1]
G
Please, Doc, put away your charts
D
You can save your heart to heart
Em
I’ve got some memories and a deck of cards
C
That could use some shuffling through
G
Looks like he's still wide awake
D
Looks like he still won't take
Em
Those pills you put there yesterday
C
Huh, just stubborn as a mule
[Chorus]
G
I don’t want to hear “He’s going downhill”
D
What about “Thank God he’s around still”?
Em C
Looking right through me is not at all the way I see him
G D
I don’t mind at all remembering for him
Em
He doesn’t have to get why I adore him
D C
He don’t have to know me
I know who he is
[Verse 2]
G
My Dad, my coach, my friend
D
The voice behind "Boy, where the hell you been?"
Em
The lover of my momma through thick and thin
C
The best man I’ve ever known
G
All time quarterback when us kids were in a bind
D
Cheek full of Red Man in a duck blind
Em
And no offense, Doc, but if you don’t mind,
C
I’d like some time alone
[Chorus]
G
I don’t want to hear “He’s going downhill”
D
What about “Thank God he’s around still”?
Em C
Looking right through me is not at all the way I see him
G D
I don’t mind at all remembering for him
Em
He doesn’t have to get why I adore him
D C
He don’t have to know me
I know who he is
[Bridge]
G
Full of pride, baby boy on his knee there
D
Full of life with a beer and a beach chair
Em D C
Oh, he's a fixture in my head full of pictures
[Final Chorus]
G D
I don’t mind at all remembering for him
Em
He doesn’t have to get why I adore him
D C
He don’t have to know me
I know who he is
