Fair warning, the timing during the bridge of part 1 gets pretty weird. [Intro] Gm D F Cm Gm D F Ebmaj7 [Verse 1]
Gm           D     F         Cm
Ever since I was a small boy

       Gm               D       F     Ebmaj7
No one else compared to you, no way

Gm      D              F         Bb
I always thought heroes stay close

    Gm           F       Bb   Ebmaj7
Whenever troubled times arose
[Chorus]
D          Cm
I didn't know

D                  Dm    Eb
Ain't always how it goes
[Verse 2]
Gm           D        F      Cm
Every single word you told me

      Gm             D         F       Ebmaj7
I believed without a question, always

   Gm          D       F               Bb
To save all of us, you told us both to trust

    Gm             F          Bb       Ebmaj7
But now I know you only saved yourself
[Chorus]
D                       Cm
Did you think I'd never know?

D                  Dm     Eb
Never wise up as I grow?
[Instrumental] Gm D F Bb Gm D F Ebmaj7 Gm D F Cm Gm F Bb Ebmaj7 [Bridge]
Gm   D       F                  Cm           Gm
         And you could store an ocean in the holes

       D           F                Ebmaj7
In any of the explanations that you gave

Gm    D                   F         Bb
  And while you still had time, you had a chance

    Gm          F                Bb             Ebmaj7
But you decided to take all your sorries to the grave
[Chorus]
D                       Cm
Did you think I'd never know?

D                  Cm
Never wise up as I grow?

D                      Cm
Did you hope I'd never doubt?

D                     Cm
Never wonder, work it out?

C                          Em
You were runnin' for cover

Bm7                  Em
Doin' like any other

C                        Em
Fallin' out with a lover

Bm7                             Em
You didn't know that I suffered

Bm7                       Em
What a thing to discover

C                        Em
There was time to recover

C                         Em
One-on-one with each other

C                      Em
Just a boy and a father

Bm7                      Em
What I'd give for another

C                      Em
Everything that I have

Bm7                        Em
Wouldn't need this for long

C                      Em
Never speak of the time

Bm7                   Em
That you left us alone

Bm7                    Em
Me and Steve on our own

C                              Em
I wanna tell you 'bout the time

C                           Em
Wanna tell you 'bout my life

C                          Em
Wanna play you all my songs

Learn the words, sing along
[Outro] C Em Bm7 Em C Em Bm7 Em
      C                                   Em
(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time

         Bm7                Em
(I know) I was in Abbey Road

C                     Em
Or the time that I had

Bm7                     Em
Mick Jagger on the phone

Bm7                           Em
I thought of you when we spoke

C                            Em
Wanna tell you 'bout the time

C                           Em
Wanna tell you 'bout my life

C                          Em
Wanna play you all my songs

Bm7                       Em
Hear your voice sing along

      C                                  Em
(This time) I wanna say, "It's all right"

         Bm7                        Em
(I know) You're just a man after all

C                         Em
And I know you have demons

Bm7                 Em
I got some of my own

Bm7                          Em
I think you passed them along

C                            Em
Wanna tell you 'bout the time

C                           Em
Wanna tell you 'bout my life

C                          Em
Wanna play you all my songs

Bm7                           Em
And hear your voice sing along
