[Verse]
Bb Dm F5 Dad I know you were sad when you died Bb Eb Bb F5 And I was young it's the way I kept you in my mind Bb Dm F5 A mess that was left and a mother who cried Bb Eb And when she stood up she was nobody's mother Bb F I'd be fine
[Chorus]
Eb Bb But I missed you then Eb Bb And I miss you now Gm Bb F Liked you'd miss things I might say Eb Bb Eb Bb You seemed lost in clouds but I'm older now Gm Bb F Fsus F I can see through lifting haze Eb6 That you were away even when you were here

Bb Dm F Sometimes a phrase or a manner that's you Bb Eb Comes through me, it goes in a flash Bb F Fsus F It's a flame, it's a blink like life Bb Dm F Oh and how much now should we pay for the past Bb Eb Bb F Cause you could age with grace if I freed you in my mind
[Chorus]
Eb Bb But I loved you then Eb Bb And I love you now Gm Bb F All the things I wish I'd asked Eb Bb When I'm lost in clouds Eb Bb Gm Bb F I remember how I was loved and I was blessed Eb6 Cm And you were away even when you were here

[Verse]
Bb F6 This morning I wake to be older than you were Bb Eb Bb Fresh white snow for miles, every footstep will be mine Eb Bb Eb Bb You'd have lost that way, you'd have gone so straight Gm Bb F You'd have made my wedding day Bb Eb Bb You'd have saved my youth from the full of truth Gm Bb F You'd have kept those walls at bay Eb6 But you were away, Cm7 F Bb And you were away even when you were here
