Bb                          C
I only got you in my stories
                                     F
And you know I tell them right
                                 Dm
And remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
Bb                             C
So give it up for fallen glory
                                  F
I never got to say goodbye
                          Dm
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time

Bb                       C
Every step I take, you used to lead the way
             F                                 Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

                 Bb
You're not there
                         C
To celebrate the man that you made
                   F
You're not there
                       Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
        Bb
Is it fair?
                                C
You'll never know the person I'll be
                   F
You're not there
       Dm
With me...

Bb                                        C
Though I know that you're not there
                                    F
I still write you all these songs
                                            Dm
It's like, you've got the right to know what's going on
Bb                                   C                                    F
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
                                      Dm
At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd
                                                                        
Bb                       C
Every step I take, you used to lead the way
             F                                  Dm
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
                                                                     
                  Bb
You're not there
                        C
To celebrate the man that you made
                    F
You're not there
                       Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
        Bb
Is it fair?
                                C
You'll never know the person I'll be
                   F
You're not there
     Dm
With me...

Bb
Time can heal your wounds if
C
You're strong and standing tall
F                                     Dm
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
Bb                                     C
They say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"
F
Yes, I will, but no it won't
Dm
They don't get it, cause...

                 Bb
You're not there
                        C
To celebrate the man that you made
                   F
You're not there
                       Dm
To share in my success and mistakes
        Bb
Is it fair?
                                C
You'll never know the person I'll be
                    F
You're not there
     Dm
With me
