You Werent There

[Intro]

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...
