Here you go.
_ [E] I wish I had told him if you ever get [C#] down so low that you can't face yourself and you
can't face another day, call on me.
I'll face it for you.
I'll look straight at it and deal with it no matter what and I'll be here for you.
[E] I wish I had told him that, but I didn't.
I told him he was going to do great and what he didn't do great, when he in fact did really
bad, I'm afraid that he didn't know that it [D] would be okay with me.
That I would [D#] stand with him, that I loved him like flesh and blood. _
And now [E] I sit here after [D#] midnight and I say into the quiet that if he's watching me now
and wants to show himself, he can and I won't be [F#] scared.
_ _ _ _ [D#] The chill runs around my neck and shoulders and I tell him he's the only one I'd say that
to because I trust him that [F#] much.
[G#m] So far I don't see him in this room tonight, but I feel him and [C#] I remember him much the
way one remembers the color blue or the sound of the sea or the [F] taste of sugar or salt or
a dream that I [D#m] dreamed of knowing my mom.
_ _ I'll just take this little song, it goes with [E] that.
_ _ What have you done, sonny, what have you done?
_ _ [A] Broke our hearts [E] one by one.
_ I am as angry as they come, _ _ [A] but I know I must [E] accept it.
_ My children cried when they heard the news.
_ _ [A] I held them each and I [E] cried too.
_ _ I guess you only did what you had to do.

_ _ You were on your [B] last [A] lost [E] highway _ _ and [B] there were [A] no turn [E] around.
