Will Hoge – Tenderhearted Boys (Guitar)

        C                G
I was there when y'all showed up

            Am              F
Thought I'd always had enough

           C                G                 C
I didn't know until right then what I was missing

          C                      G
Those little smiles, the little looks

    Am                        F
A thousand little children's books

         C                  G              C
And the million things that I won't be forgetting

          C                      G
The way y'all laugh still makes me smile

        Am                          F
All the times I held you when you cried

           C               G            C
Know I'll do that til I'm not here any longer

              C           G
I hope you'll always find a way

   Am                    F
To help keep each other safe

            C            G                 C
And know together you're always so much stronger

       F                C
I know it's a damn cliche

             F                C
To say that time just flies away

         F              D/F#               G
And the words I say can get  lost in the noise

         F              C
Know as you both move along

      Em             Am
Even years after I'm gone

    C                G                C
Promise me you'll be   tenderhearted boys

         C                      G
And this old world can feel obscene

          Am               F
Make you crazy, make you mean

          C                         G                     C
But boys don't let those bastards change your hearts for nothing

            C              G
Keep your souls and hold your grace

     Am                  F
Look each other in the face

       C                   G                 C
And remember at least this one thing that I told you

       F                C
I know it's a damn cliche

             F                C
To say that time just flies away

         F              D/F#               G
And the words I say can get  lost in the noise

         F              C
Know as you both move along

      Em             Am
Even years after I'm gone

    C                G                C
Promise me you'll be   tenderhearted boys

       F                C
I know it's a damn cliche

             F                C
To say that time just flies away

         F              D/F#               G
And the words I say can get  lost in the noise

         F              C
Know as you both move along

      Em             Am
Even years after I'm gone

    C                G                C
Promise me you'll be   tenderhearted boys

    C                  G                    C
Promise me you'll stay   tenderhearted boys
