[Strophe]
Gm                   C 
I only got you in my stories 
                         F 
And you know I tell them right 
                    Dm 
And remember you and I, when I'm awake at night 
Gm                       C 
So give it up for fallen glory 
                       F 
I never got to say goodbye 
                   Dm 
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time
[Pre-Refrain]
Gm                 C 
Every step I take, you used to lead the way 
        F                          Dm 
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
[Refrain]
              Gm 
You're not there 
                 C 
To celebrate the man that you made 
              F 
You're not there 
               Dm 
To share in my success and mistakes 
        Gm 
Is it fair? 
                      C 
You'll never know the person I'll be 
              F 
You're not there 
     Dm 
With me...
[Strophe]
Gm                            C 
Though I know that you're not there 
                            F 
I still write you all these songs 
                                   Dm 
It's like, you've got the right to know what's going on 
Gm                       C                         F 
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound 
                              Dm 
At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd
[Pre-Refrain]
Gm                 C 
Every step I take, you used to lead the way 
        F                           Dm 
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
[Refrain]
              Gm 
You're not there 
                 C 
To celebrate the man that you made 
              F 
You're not there 
               Dm 
To share in my success and mistakes 
        Gm 
Is it fair? 
                      C 
You'll never know the person I'll be 
              F 
You're not there 
     Dm 
With me...
[Interlude]
Gm 
Time can heal your wounds if 
C 
You're strong and standing tall 
F                            Dm 
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all 
Gm                           C 
They say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still" 
F 
Yes, I will, but no it won't 
Dm 
They don't get it, cause...
[Refrain]
              Gm 
You're not there 
                 C 
To celebrate the man that you made 
              F 
You're not there 
               Dm 
To share in my success and mistakes 
        Gm 
Is it fair? 
                      C 
You'll never know the person I'll be 
              F 
You're not there 
     Dm 
With me...
