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
Fm7 G# Cadd9
I swear it didn’t look like him
Fm7 G# Cadd9
Those hands were dirty and that was comforting
D# Fm7 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
Fm7 G# Cadd9
And we all sat there in silence
Fm7 G# Cadd9
Listening to our mother cry
D# Fm7 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
Fm7 G# Cadd9
You were that little bit too late
Fm7 G# Cadd9
Probably wouldn’t have changed him anyway
D# Fm7 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
Fm7 G# Cadd9
Still hoping I’ll see him on the street
Fm7 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)
Fm7 G# Cadd9
And I keep his photo in my room
Fm7 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
