My Teacher Died

Hook 1 
            Gmaj9 
oh since my teacher died i am a student now 
           Emadd9 
of whom i cannot tell, of what i cannot tell... 


[Verso 1]
 
           Gmaj9 
i read his books for years, i've gone all through them 
             Emadd9 
how i wanted one last fix but he's not writing now 
       Gmaj9 
oh, my teacher died i felt sorry 
             Emadd9 
but i wasn't sorry 
 


[Verso 2]
 
             Gmaj9 
the night we said goodbye i felt a crumbling school 
            Emadd9 
my skin was sensitized to air that rushed in cool 
       Gmaj9 
oh, my teacher's eyes were gentle 
                  Emadd9 
as any man's have been 
 


[Ponte]
 
             Gmaj9 
there are no superstars, there is no superman 
             Emadd9 
there's only everyone, i learn from whom i can 
        Gmaj9 
oh, my teacher died, and i felt sorry 
             Emadd9 
but i wasn't sorry... 

Hook 2 
   Gmaj9 
my teacher died and i'm a student now 
          Emadd9 
of whom i cannot tell, of what i cannot tell !
