Capo: 5th fret Intro: Am C Dm F (4x) (Verse 1) Am C His footprints are fading away from the beach Dm F We're not a family to pray or to preach Am C But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills and Dm F now he's at a podium making a speech Am C Yesterday night after dark Dm F He carefully wrote his remarks Am C but everyone said what he put on his page Dm F so he threw it away and went straight from the heart (Chorus) Am G I thought this was a party F But all my friends are leaving C And I still want to play Em Dm Whoa-oh whoa-oh Am G F C You wrecked me when you stepped out Am G F Cause you're the wounded healer Am G F And you're supposed to stay Em E7 Whoa-oh whoa-oh (Verse 2) Am C A year's bottle in a bucket of trash F Dm It'll tip over the more that it stacks Am C Didn't notice it till now but dad's been moving F Dm Slower every time we go play catch Am C I'm scared of the day when he'll carry a cane F Dm I carry his dream , I carry his name Am C And when papa is gone he will never be gone because F Dm the sound of our sneeze is the same Am I say God bless G F I hear your voice in mine Am And I want to stop time G F Like a carnival ride Am G F I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it (repeat) (Chorus) Am G I thought this was a party F But all my friends are leaving C And I still want to play Em Dm Whoa-oh whoa-oh Am G F C You wrecked me when you stepped out Am G F Cause you're the wounded healer Am G F And you're supposed to stay Em E7 Whoa-oh whoa-oh
