Verse1:

                   Ab5
So why the sudden change

and what?s this all about?
             G5        Ab5
I know they speak your name,

but where?s the sound right now?
        G5    Ab5
I can?t stop praying you?ll hear me play.
            G5   Ab5                         Bb5
I know that I?ll be with you there someday

Chorus:

                         F5
where the hell?s my hope,
         C5 9        G5
and why can?t I just try?
                         F5
You know I?ve lost a lot,
      C5 9         G5
but I won?t let this die.
                        F5              C5 9
you know I?ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
   G5                                     F5   C5 9
and another reason not to fear the sky
         G5
no, not tonight.


Verse2: (x1)

                             Ab5
Can I pull out all the stops,

and get out of this town?

I want to make you proud,

but I really don?t know how.
            G5  Ab5             Bb5  Ab5
I know it?s not helping to hear me say,
           Bb5 Ab5           Bb5  Ab5
?I wish it was me in the car that day.?
                  Bb5     C5 maj11
Though something made me stop and think of what you said.
                   C5 maj11
You know it meant a lot,

but I was just a kid,
                  C5 maj11
one with all these dreams of growing up and playing music on the road.
           C5 maj11
I?ve been screaming all these years and thinking of your bones.


Chorus: (x4)
                   F5
So where's my hope?
         C5 9        G5
and why can?t I just try?
                         F5
You know I?ve lost a lot,
      C5 9         G5
but I won?t let this die.
                        F5              C5 9
you know I?ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
   G5                                     F5   C5 9
and another reason not to fear the sky
         G5

                Ab5
I wrote this note,
                          Bb5
because I never even told you.
                        Ab5
You know I?ve got some things to sing about,
              Bb5
like we were young and holding true
             Ab5                              Bb5
to all these songs that always made us pull through,
                       Ab5
and now I?ve got some words that I?ll write down.
                 Bb5
I?m sending this shit out.

Chorus:
                    F5

but I won?t let this die.

you know I?ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
   G5                                     F5   C5 9
and another reason not to fear the sky
         G5
no, not tonight, no not tonight.
                    F5
So where's my hope,
         C5 9        G5
and why can?t I just try?
                         F5
You know I?ve lost a lot,
      C5 9         G5
but I won?t let this die.
                        F5              C5 9

no, not tonight, no not tonight.

So where the hell?s my hope,

and why can?t I just try?

You know I?ve lost a lot,

but I won?t let this die.
                       F5
you know I?ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,

and another reason not to fear the sky;
                                  G5
no, not tonight. no, not tonight.
