      Chords figured out by ear, so if you think you have better suggestions, please comment!


Verse

G
I met superman with you

Charlie Brown and Jesus too

On those nights I couldn't sleep

You were always there with me
             C                 D      Em
When I was young and faint of heart
                 Am            C
You'd tell me stories in the dark


G
And when I felt I couldn't fly

You and peter took me on a ride

You said "son don't be afraid to die."

we had an awfully great adventure
        C              D       Em
Now so much of who we are
              Am            C
Is in those stories in the dark



Chorus

        C                    G
What we learned when we were young
           Am
Sets the table for our lives
         C                    G
Bread we break it fills our hearts
            Am
It feeds our loss
    C Em  Am            C                     
And even though you're not here anymore
           G
I hear your voice



Verse 2

G
Cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Used to make me cry guess I still do

I didn't want that for me and you

You know we'll be together soon
             C               D     Em
'Cuz when I wonder where you are
               Am            C
I hear those stories in the dark


G
I know someday i'll tell my own

And then someday when you've moved on

I'll tell him son don't be afraid to die

We had an awfully great adventure
         C                   D     Em
Now I know right where you are
              Am             C
You're in my stories in the dark



Chorus

What we learned when we were young
          Am
Sets the table for our lives
          C                  G
Bread we break it fills our hearts
            Am
It feeds our loss

And even though you're not here anymore
           G
I hear your voice

In the corner of my mind
        Em
I see you there
       C            G
But you stay a step behind

    C Em  Am            C
And even though you're not here anymore
           G
I hear your voice
