(Intro.)
|(Em) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(D) /
(Verse)
When I was (Em)breathing, they kept their distance
Only (C)called when they needed assistance
Never (G)asked how I was holding on
Just took what they (D)could and they were gone
But now Ifm laid (Em)out in a box of pine
Theyfre flying (C)in from different timelines
Crying (G)tears they never shed before
Preaching (D)love they never showed no more
(Chorus)
Theyfll drive four (Em)miles to see me dead
But not a soul (C)checked in when I bled
Now theyfre dressed in (G)black, heads bowed low
Saying (D)things they never let me know
I was the (Em)black sheep left to roam
Now theyfre here like (C)I was never alone
Funny how the (G)silence breaks
When itfs (D)too damn late
(Verse)
They post my (Em)name like they knew my pain
But I walked through (C)fire in the pouring rain
No calls, no (G)letters, no helping hand
Just empty (D)words and shifting sand
Now theyfre lining (Em)up to pay respect
To a soul they (C)chose to disconnect
Preacher (G)says, gI touched thier livesh
But where were (D)they when I tried to survive?
(Chorus)
Theyfll drive four (Em)miles to see me dead
But not a soul (C)checked in when I bled
Now theyfre dressed in (G)black, heads bowed low
Saying (D)things they never let me know
I was the (Em)black sheep left to roam
Now theyfre here like (C)I was never alone
Funny how the (G)silence breaks
When itfs (D)too damn late
(Bridge)
Donft bring me (Em)flowers when Ifm gone
If you couldnft (D)stand me when I wa strong
Ifd rather (G)die with truth than live with lies
So (C)save your tears and alibis
(Chorus)
Theyfll drive four (Em)miles to see me dead
But not a soul (C)checked in when I bled
Now theyfre dressed in (G)black, heads bowed low
Saying (D)things they never let me know
I was the (Em)black sheep left to roam
Now theyfre here like (C)I was never alone
Funny how the (G)silence breaks
When itfs (D)too damn late
(Outro.)
