Intro
(x4)
D# A# Cadd9
[Verse 1]
D# A# Cadd9
When I asked what closure felt like
D# A# Cadd9
No one could give me a solid answer
D# A# Cadd9
When we turned around the corner
D# A# Cadd9
I felt my entire body shake
Cm7 D# Cadd9
I swear it didn’t look like him
Cm7 D# Cadd9
Those hands were dirty and that was comforting
A# Cm7 Cadd9
And when she said don’t be afraid, for the last time I touched his face
[Verse 2]
D# A# Cadd9 (x2)
D# A# Cadd9
And I drove over Sunday morning
D# A# Cadd9
I couldn’t stop shaking the whole way
D# A# Cadd9
And she walked over to the thermostat
D# A# Cadd9
Said the house needed to be warm today
Cm7 D# Cadd9
And we all sat there in silence
Cm7 D# Cadd9
Listening to our mother cry
A# Cm7 Cadd9
And I felt it when it hit, I feel everything
[Verse 3]
D# A# Cadd9 (x2)
D# A# Cadd9
And I heard you practicing in the shower
D# A# Cadd9
All the things you were gonna say
D# A# Cadd9
Though I didn’t hear specific words
D# A# Cadd9
Boy, I tell you, you sounded brave
Cm7 D# Cadd9
You were that little bit too late
Cm7 D# Cadd9
Probably wouldn’t have changed him anyway
A# Cm7 Cadd9
But if I said that I felt the same, would it feel okay?
[Verse 4]
D# A# Cadd9 (x2)
D# A# Cadd9
And I keep his photo in my wallet
D# A# Cadd9
Yeah, I watch home videos sometimes
D# A# Cadd9
To hear his voice and see him smile
D# A# Cadd9
To heal the impact on my life
Cm7 D# Cadd9
Still hoping I’ll see him on the street
Cm7 D# Cadd9 A#
Or in the house he built around me, my sisters, and my brother
A# G# D#
For the strongest woman I’ve ever known, my mother
[Verse 5]
D# A# Cadd9 (x2)
Cm7 D# Cadd9
And I keep his photo in my room
Cm7 D# Cadd9
And how he looked so much like you
D# A# Cadd9
Charlie, you’re gonna be okay
D# A# Cadd9
At least tomorrow, if not today
D# A# Cadd9
And Charlie, I’m gonna be okay
D# A# Cadd9
And there is no one we can blame
D# A# Cadd9
Charlie, you’re gonna be okay
D# A# Cadd9
At least tomorrow, if not today
D# A# Cadd9
Keep playing your songs everyday
D# A# Cadd9
Oh, and when you’re not okay
D# A# Cadd9
You can always call
D# A# Cadd9
And it was no one’s fault
[Outro]
