C
When you're old enough

G
When you've been through it

C
You won't know what it's like

G                        A
You can't see things the same

G
But you're closer now

C
Did you close your eyes?

G
Did I close them first?

C
You weren't strong enough

Bm                   Em
I'm no stronger than you

        G                           C       Em
But the years take their toll on us all

Em  G                                          C      A    Em
I'm starting to see why you drifted away after all

               G
And no one explains to you

                             Em      A
Where the things go that you love

                      C      G     C     G
'Till they're already gone

C
You held on for us

G
The house gathered dust

C
We were selfish then

G                 Em
And we held on to things

            A
But they're all gone now

C
Did I take too long?

G
Did I ask too much?

C             G                A
I didn't love you as much as I could

    G                     C      A     Em
The silence is killing me now

    G                                          C       A
I'm starting to see why you drifted away after all

G
And no one explains to you

                 D           Em     C     A
Where the things go that you love

G                                                C        A
How many times will I try to pretend that you're here?

      G                                             A
And I had a few questions I never got to ask you in time

                     Em
'Cause you'd already gone
