Chords

This is a song I wrote myself during a dark time period in my life. At the time I was having night-terrors that my mother is or was dying and it honestly made me very depressed in the real world. I have a very strong connection with my mother and I was devastated when I kind of stepped back and realized that one day my mother will pass away and it will devistate me. Im no longer having these issues but I still wanted to write this song so that I could have an emotional release whenever they arose again. My mother currently is not actually dead but I still like conveying my emotions through music. I understand nobody will know this song because it's not published. It's something that I personally wrote. I'm mainly posting it in hopes of feedback on what I could do better in the future as a song writer as this is my first song I have ever composed. BELOW HERE IS THE ACTUAL SONG BEGGINING----------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] C Am Dm Am [Verse]
C
I just wanna say that I miss you

Am
And all the stuff that we used to do

Dm
You cared for me so much

Am
Now my heart beats with a crutch

C
I just wish that I had told you

Am
When that I could still hold you

Dm
Everything that I'm grateful for

Am
Like sitting together on the beach shore
C Am Dm Am [Chorus]
C
I'm thankful for the life you gave me

Am
Wish that I was still your baby

F
Remember when you used to praise me

Dm
Now I visit where your grave stays

C
I'm thankful for the life you gave me

Am
I just hope that you still praise me

F
'Cause every day I hope and pray

Dm
Just don't let me forget your face
C Am F Dm [Verse]
C
Now and then I still break down

Am
Wonder why it happened now

Dm
You were so young with love to give

Am
Can visit where you now live

C
But now day in and day out i grieve

Am
Wondering why that I still breathe

Dm
When you should be here instead of me

Am
You left me here oh so lonely

C
I'm thankful for the life you gave me

Wish that I was still your baby
