[Verso 1]
 
   C                  E 
If I say I miss you, I know that you won't, 
           Am 
Well, it's two cents a minute, 
 G                         F 
Stay on the phone for the chance that I'll catch you, 
     G                     C 
Tell you how much that I've grown. 

   C                  E 
I'll pass you a tissue and lift away tears 
       Am                    G 
As you tell me how love gets stronger with years, 
F                       G                    C 
Count on my fingers the people who come to my mind. 

    C                        E 
And you'll pay the taxi I'll reach for my wallet, 
Am                      G 
Tell me dont worry son, know that I got it, 
F                         G                      C 
Swear one day I show you, God yeah I turned out alright. 
 


[Refrão]
 
C    E             Am              G 
Oh I seldom find a place to rest my fears. 
    C       E              Am                G 
But in that silver line, I feel your presence near 
     C                       E 
Well I broke the glass and I lifted the mast 
      Am                 G 
and I sailed away with my dear. 
  C                              E 
I looked at the sky, prayed that I'd find your eye, 
       Am                 G 
Said I did it for you, you here.

     C                            E 
Well you said I'm grown, now, yet I feel the same, 
     Am                    G 
It's easy to see the years carved in my face 
       F                  G                         C 
Oh the wrinkles remind me one day we'll all fade to grey 
      C                     E 
Still I can't help hate the relentlessness time, 
   Am                       G 
Oh she waits for no one, no matter how high, 
       F                            G                          C 
But at least we're all equal to the one who gives and takes our lives 
C                        E 
Now I lay here crying on top of your stone, 
     Am                            G 
As I curse at the fickle world for taking you home, 
   F                       G                     C 
By God yea I had something left that I needed to say

C    E             Am              G 
Oh I seldom find a place to rest my fears. 
    C       E              Am                G 
But in that silver line, I feel your presence near 
     C                       E 
Well I broke the glass and I lifted the mast 
      Am                 G 
and I sailed away with my dear. 
  C                              E 
I looked at the sky, prayed that I'd find your eye, 
       Am                 G 
Said I did it for you, you here. 

   C                      E 
So I'll tell your story until my time comes, 
       Am                          G 
'Cause you'll live forever, through words on a tongue, 
   F                     G                       C 
Ya you'll be remembered, moon's coming after the sun 
     C                     E 
I'll give you my glory, my pride and my fame 
     Am                      G 
It's just an old picture, it never got framed, 
    F                     G                         C 
But oh, what a picture, a picture that proved I was made. 
    C                    E 
I'll get up and hurry and say my goodbyes, 
    Am                      G 
And stop playing poker when dealing with lives, 
     F                      G                         C 
Just say how you love them, say it with tears in your eyes.
