B                        E
She came home just won the game 
E/G#                             Abm
Long time struggle she fulfilled her dream
C#m                             E
All she wanted was to make you proud 
Abm            E
You weren't there 
B                         E
Had his birthday a few days ago
E/G#                            Abm
He got some presents, a big party too
C#m                               E
And there were congratulation cards 
Abm
As it used to be for
                   F#
Not ever one from you 
               E
You weren't there 
             C#m
Distant far away 
                   E
it's like this every day
                      F#
I see it in their heads
                  C#m
Wonder if you'll come 
                       E
Afraid to close their eyes
                     Abm 
And miss you once again 
B                               E
She cut herself on that piece of paper
E/G#                          Abm
It didn't hurt but she saw the blood 
C#m                    E
She could need that embrace 
                Abm
You weren't there 
B                        E
Did he have to cry louder? 
E/G#                     Abm
Would that make you hear him? 
C#m                       E
You see his heart was broken
         Abm     F#
For the first time

It's like this every day
                   F#

Afraid to close their eyes
                   Abm 
And miss you once again 
Abm                   F#
You cannot turn back time
E                  E/G#  
I wish that to come true
   C#m                   F#           C

             E
You weren't there
              C#m
Distant far away
                     E
