Misc Originals – Cooper Bartlett - Riley (Guitar)

C                     Am
Riley, this moment in time

  Em              F
I find it hard to rhyme

       Fm           Am
You're all I had to have

            Em   F
You saved a life

    C                        Am
And Riley, the end's drawing near

               Em                F
That's been my pain for the past year

           Fm                           Am
But then I remember what a lucky guy am I

            Em                             F
To have met someone who truly made me feel alive

G                    Em
I hope you know I'll be there

    E             F
I'm just one call away

            G                  Em
I'll book a flight to New York City

        E                      F
Opening night of your Broadway play

G                    Em
'Cause Riley I'm not joking-

    E                 F
You mean the world to me

          C                Am
If only I had more time to show it

        E                F
And you wouldn't have to leave

  D
I hope that you remember me

       Dm
'Cause Riley I can guarantee

           C            G                 Am
I'm living every day in your sweet memory

  D
I know that you're alive and well

    Dm
But Riley I am sure as hell

      G                                      G7
Gonna miss this chapter as far as I can tell

G
I'm so proud of you

          Am
As you're driving me home

        Em
For the possible last time

    F
Why is this the last time?

        G                          Am
There's thousands of things that I wish that I did

          Em                      F
Should've been a better guy but I ran and I hid

         G                          Am
From the people I still had and now I'm forced to stay

          Em                       F
Spent too long in tomorrow but not enough in today

   G                             Am
If I could play God, change when I was conceived

              Em                              F
Less like two thousand and six, more like two thousand and three

       G                   Am
Now my favorite people are leaving me be

        Em                           F
Did you know the most special one is you, Ms. Riley?

   C      Em        Am
So Riley, go have a blast

              D                          G
Just don't forget this one guy from your past

       C            Em                            Am
He's a boring gentleman but he loves you like the fish love the sea

            D  Dm  C
That guy is me
