[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G
I won't hold my tongue.
C
I'm not okay without you here.
G
I guess what's done is done.
C
I just feel so exposed without you near.
[Break]
Am C
And I won't say that I'm okay,
Am
'Cause you taught me not to lie,
C D
So know that I'll miss you everyday.
[Pre-Chorus]
G
You always taught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
C
But I know that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
Am
'Cause I miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
D
Now I'm stuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
[Chorus]
G
So I'm sitting in my room
As I try to write this song.
C
I'm so sorry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
Am
And I keep bursting into tears
Because the pain won't go away,
D
Because the father took my best friend
And said she cannot come out to play
G C G C
Anymore.
[Refrain]
G
I won't hold my tongue.
C
I'm not okay without you here.
G
I won't hold my tongue.
C
I'm not okay without you here.
G
I won't hold my tongue.
C
I'm not okay without you here.
[Verse 2]
G
I guess what's done is done.
C
I just feel so exposed without you near.
[Break]
Am C
And I won't say that I'm okay,
Am
'Cause you taught me not to lie,
C D
So know that I'll miss you everyday.
[Pre-Chorus]
G
You always taught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
C
But I know that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
Am
'Cause I miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
D
And now I'm stuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
[Chorus]
G
And now I'm sitting in my room
As I try to write this song.
C
I'm so sorry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
Am
But I will try my best to be good
So I can pay my way,
D
Straight through the pearly gates
Into your arms so we can play
G
Once more.
[Outro]
(play G C over and over until end)
G
Grandma, Uh, I love God with all my heart
C
And uh, The only reason that isn't
G
Stated in my life is because of you
And I really don't understand it God
That you introduced me to
What would take you away so fast
C
When you were the only person
That ever understood a thing I ever said
And I really don't understand
G
How to deal with this anymore
And, I'm just really not okay with this
C
And I miss you and I understand you're in heaven
G
But I don't want to be selfish
I don't want you to be in heaven
I want you to be back down here
I don't want you to be there
C
I want you to be here
What am I supposed to do now
G C G C fade out...
That's all I'm asking
