(No Capo)

(Intro.)
|(Em) / / (D/F#)|(G) / / / |(D) / /

(Verse 1)
There’s a (Em)voicemail that I keep
I listen to it, just to hear you (D/F#)speak
“Hey (G)Son..” turns to silence just like that
You know I (Em)love you walking by
Like you saw the phone in your hand and you didn’t know (D/F#)why
It’s (G)crazy how you come and go so fast
 
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, (Em)how do I get you back (D)
If I (Em)could only (C)seal the cracks you’re slipping through
(D)Wish I didn’t (Em)feel so helpless when it comes to (D/F#)helping you
(G)Hold on, so I keep (G)holding on (D/F#)
 
(Chorus)
To every little (C)memory made of you and me
(D/F#)Every little (Em)glimpse of who you used to (D/F#)be
(G)I know you’re still in there
(Em)Deep down somewhere (D)I swear I still see (C)you (Em)(D/F#) - - -
Between the blank (C) stares / / (Em|(D) / /
 
(Verse 2)
It’s the (Em)first thing that I think about
When (Em)I wake up and when I lay (D/F#)down
It’s the (G)last thing I feel crawling through my mind (D/F#)
I’m still (Em)trying to understand it
Sittin' next to you holding your (D/F#)hand
And (G)hopin' you won’t fade away this time
 
(Pre-Chorus)
Just (D)stay a little while, please (Em)stay a little while (D)(Em)
If I can only (C)seal the cracks you’re slipping through
(D)Wish I didn’t (Em)feel so helpless when it comes to (D/F#)helping you
(Em)Hold on, so I keep (D)holding on
 
(Chorus)
To (Em)every little (C)memory made of you and me
(D)Every little (Em)glimpse of who you (D)used to be
(G)I know you’re still in there
(Em)Deep down somewhere (D)I swear I still (C)see you / / (Em)|(D)
Between the blank (Em) stares
It’s getting (C)harder and harder to (Em)watch you disappear (D)
Oh, if only (C)farther, (G)farther and (Em)leaving me in (D)tears - - -
 
(Pre-Chorus)
If I could only (C)seal the cracks you’re slipping through
(D)Wish I didn’t (Em)feel so helpless when it comes to (D)helping you
(G)Hold on, so I keep (D)holding on
 
(Chorus)
Every little (C)memory made of you and me
(D)Every little (Em)glimpse of who you used to be (D/F#)
(G)I know you’re still in there
(Em)Deep down somewhere (D)I swear I still (C)see you (Em)(D)
Yeah, I still (C)see you (Em)(D)
Between the blank (C) stares / / (Em)|(D)
 
(Outro.)
Between the blank (C) stares / / (G)|(Em) - - - - -
