You Werent There

B - E - E/G# - G#m - C#m - E - G#m - E

[Verse]
B                        E
She came home just won the game
E/G#                             G#m
Long time struggle she fulfilled her dream
C#m                             E
All she wanted was to make you proud
G#m            E
You weren't there
B                         E
Had his birthday a few days ago
E/G#                            G#m
He got some presents, a big party too
C#m                               E
And there were congratulation cards
G#m
As it used to be for
                   F#
Not ever one from you

[Chorus]
               E
You weren't there
             C#m
Distant far away
                   G#m
it's like this every day
                      F#
I see it in their heads
                  C#m
Wonder if you'll come
                       E
Afraid to close their eyes
                     G#m
And miss you once again

[Verse]
B                               E
She cut herself on that piece of paper
E/G#                          G#m
It didn't hurt but she saw the blood
C#m                    E
She could need that embrace
                G#m  E
You weren't there
B                        E
Did he have to cry louder?
E/G#                     G#m
Would that make you hear him?
C#m                       E
You see his heart was broken
         G#m     F#
For the first time

[Chorus]
                E
You weren't there
             C#m
Distant far away
                   G#m
it's like this every day
                      F#
I see it in their heads
                  C#m
Wonder if you'll come
                       E
Afraid to close their eyes
                     G#m
And miss you once again

[Bridge]
G#m         F#
You cannot turn back time
  E                 E/G#
I wish that to come true
        C#m               F#     E
They're making up these stories about you

[Chorus]
             E
You weren't there
              C#m
Distant far away
                     G#m
It's like this every day
                     F#
I see it in their heads
                 C#m
Wonder if you'll come
                       E
Afraid to close their eyes
                       G#m  F#
And miss you once again
 E                  C#m       G#m
Miss you once again...
