A nice little song about Family. Its in drop D, but you can play it in standard. 
All chords shapes are for drop d:

      DADGBe
D     000232 or D5 000235
G     55540x 
G/f#  45520x
Em    222000
A     x02220
Bm    x24432

Where a chord is in brackets, it is implied by a couple of open strings, usually B 
and G. It can be missed, but it makes it a bit more interesting.



Verse:

D   G  G/f#   Em               A
In time       I'll return once more

There you took a photograph of me and my sisters back then

Bm              A      Bm 
To celebrate the lies that you made

G            A              Bm   
You held us and hoped that you'd find

Peace for the very first time

Look on my face and you'll find
Peace for the very first time

Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
A         G            D
Only the love will remain

And dreams that are never fulfilled
Lets celebrate the lives that you made
Go to a place where you'll find
