It is five half steps higher than the recording. If you want to play along,

G                                   D
Every step I take takes me farther from you
 D7                 C                    G      D
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you
G                                           D
Since you were a child we built our lives around you
  D                       C               G         D
How'm I supposed to live in this world we made without you?


C                                 G    D
Sometimes late at night I go the field
C                     
Is that where you are?
C                     G   D
Are you a shooting star?
C                   
Can you say my name?
C                G     D
Darling can you hear me?
C                                              G      D
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
C                                            G
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here


G                                        D
When you joined the war we were so proud of you
   D7                   C               G          D
You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you
     G                                            D         
Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you
     D7                    C                   G     D
It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you


C                                 G    D
Sometimes late at night I go the field
C                     
Is that where you are?
C                     G   D
Are you a shooting star?
C                   
Can you say my name?
C                G     D
Darling can you hear me?
C                                              G      D
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
C                                            G
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here


G         C        G      G      C          G
And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean
G           C      G              C
And you will always be my little one

Em   C   G  G  Am   C   G  G


Em                     C              G     
If I was the President, if I was that man
Am                               C                G     
I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand
Em                      C                G        
If I was the President, if I was that brave
Am                         C                        G      
I would take a shovel, then dig each child their grave
Em                       C                    G      
If I was the President, and my world turned black
Am                      C                   G     
I would want no victory, I'd just want you back


Em                     C                   G      
I don't want no victory, I just want you back
Am                     C                   G             
I don't want no victory, I just want you back     
Em                     C                   G      
I don't want no victory, I just want you back
Am                     C                   G         D       
I don't want no victory, I just want you back     


C                                 G    D
Sometimes late at night I go the field
C                     
Is that where you are?
C                     G   D
Are you a shooting star?
C                   
Can you say my name?
C                G     D
Darling can you hear me?
C                                              G      D
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
C                                            G        D
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
C                                            G        D
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
C                                            G        
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

G             C      G
And It will always be
