[Verse 1]
A            (Asus4)      A/D
When I asked what closure felt like
A                 (Asus4)    A/D
No one could give me a solid answer
A               (Asus4)   A/D
When we turned around the corner
A               (Asus4)A/D
I felt my entire body shake
A/F#       A           (A/D)
I swear it didn't look like him
A/F#             A                (A/D)
Those hands were dirty and that was comforting
(A/E)            A/D
And when she said don't be afraid
                     A
For the last time, I touched his face

||: A   (Asus4) A/D      :||

[Verse 2]
A               (Asus4) A/D
And I drove over Sunday morning
A                       (Asus4)  A/D
I couldn't stop shaking the whole way
A                (Asus4)    A/D
And she walked over to the thermostat
A               (Asus4)  A/D
Said the house needed to be warm today
A/F#       A           (A/D)
And we all sat there in silence
A/F#       A           (A/D)
Listening to our mother cry
(A/E)        A/D
And I felt it when it hit
                 A
I feel everything

||: A   (Asus4) A/D         :||

[Verse 3]
A                  (Asus4)        A/D
And I heard you practicing in the shower
A                   (Asus4)   A/D
All the things you were gonna say
A                   (Asus4)   A/D
Though I didn't hear specific words
A                  (Asus4)   A/D
Boy, I tell you, you sounded brave
A/F#          A                A/D
You were that little bit too late
A/F#              A                A/D
Probably wouldn't have changed him anyway
(A/E)                        A/D
But if I said that I felt the same
                   A
Would it feel okay?

||: A   (Asus4) A/D         :||

[Verse 4]
A   (Asus4) A/D
And I keep his photo in my wallet
A   (Asus4) A/D
Yeah, I watch home videos sometimes
 A   (Asus4) A/D
To hear his voice and see him smile
A   (Asus4) A/D
To heal the impact on my life
A/F#          A                A/D
Still hoping I'll see him on the street
A/F#          A                A/D                  A/E
Or in the house he built around me, my sisters, and my brother
        A/D                                 A
For the strongest woman I've ever known, my mother

||: A   (Asus4) A/D         :||

[Verse 5]
A/F#            A          A/D
And I keep his photo in my room
A/F#       A               A/D
And how he looked so much like you
A                (Asus4) A/D
Charlie, you're gonna be okay
A                (Asus4)  A/D
At least tomorrow, if not today
A                 (Asus4) A/D
And Charlie, I'm gonna be okay
A                   (Asus4) A/D
And there is no one we can blame
A                 (Asus4) A/D
Charlie, you're gonna be okay
A                  (Asus4) A/D
At least tomorrow, if not today
A                 (Asus4)    A/D
Keep playing your songs everyday
A                   (Asus4)A/D
Oh, and when you're not okay
               A     (Asus4) A/D
You can always call
                    A     (Asus4) A/D
And it was no one's fault
