(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Verse)
I don't know (D)why God (A)always takes the good ones first (Bm) (G)
And man I’ve (D) tried to be (A)strong and carry on, but damn this (Bm) hurts (G)
And I just (A)wish that I could talk to you again (Bm) some how some way
Even (A)if it's for a moment, so I (G)can hear you say

(Chorus)
Don't cry (D) for me I'm al-(A)right
Yeah, I'm bet-(Bm)ter than you know (G)
And this life (D) can be a short-(A)er ride
So don't waste (Bm) it on sorrow (G)
And just (A)hold on to those moments
And the (Bm)memories we shared
We're both (A)headed for the same place anyway (G)
(NC) I just beat you there

(Solo)
D  A  Bm7  G
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(G) / /

(Verse)
I know they (D)say, just (A)give it a little time, you'll be o-(Bm)-kay (G)
That might be (D) true, (A)it don't really help me today (Bm) (G)
And we (A)ain't supposed to question the (Bm)Man upstairs
'Cause there's just (A)so much I don't understand, it (G)just don't seem fair

(Chorus)
Don't cry (D) for me I'm al-(A)right
I'm bet-(Bm)ter than you know (G)
And this life (D) can be a short-(A)er ride
So don't waste (Bm) it on sorrow (G)
And just (A)hold on to those moments
And the (Bm)memories we shared
We're both (A)headed for the same place anyway (G)
(NC)I just beat you there (D)

(Break)

And as each (A)day goes by
I get a little bit (Bm)stronger
But that don't (A)stop me from wishing you
Were here (G) a little bit longer
(D) Woah, oh, oh, (A) woah, oh, woah, oh (Bm) / / / |(G) / (A) / |

(Solo)
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Post-Chorus)
And so I'm (D)gonna smile when I (A)think of you
Like I (Bm)know you'd want me to (G)
And I know (D) you're watching o-(A)ver me
In (Bm)everything I do (G)
And all those things (A) I never got to say
Well I'll (Bm)send 'em with this prayer
Then look up, (A) wipe my tears and raise my (G) beer
Mmm, (A) mmm
(NC) And I'll see you there (D) (A)
Ohhh, oh, oh, oh (Bm) oh, oh (G)
And I'll see you there (D)
Ohh, oh, (A) ohh oh oh (Bm) (G) - - - (D) - - - - -
