So why the sudden change

    Em                D
and whats this all about?

                   C9
I know they speak your name,

    Em                       D
but wheres the sound right now?

              C9         Em       D
I cant stop praying youll hear me pray.

                C9        Em        D
I know that Ill be with you there someday.




                      C9
So where the hells my hope,

    Em               D
and why cant I just try?

                     C9
You know Ive lost a lot,

      Em              D
but I wont let this die.

                        C9            Em
you know Ive got this friend up in the atmosphere,

    D                              C9    Em
and another reason not to fear the sky

          D
no, not tonight.



                       C9
Can I pull out all the stops,

    Em                D
and get out of this town?

                    C9
I want to make you proud,

    Em                   D
but I really dont know how.

                C9      Em      D
I know its not helping to hear me say,

               C9     Em        D
I wish it was me in the car that day.

                          C9     Em               D
Though something made me stop and think of what you said.

                  C9
You know it meant a lot,

      Em           D
but I was just a kid,

                 C9             Em               D
one with all these dreams of growing up and playing music on the road.

            C9               Em        D
Ive been screaming all these years and thinking of your bones.




             C9
So wheres my hope,

    Em               D
and why cant I just try?

      C9
I wrote this note,

                     Em
because I never even told you.

                        G
You know Ive got some things to sing about,

               D
like we were young and holding true

              C9                     Em
to all these songs that always made us pull through,

                      G
and now Ive got some words that Ill write down.

     D
Im sending this shit out.
