[F#] [G#] [A] I woke up this morning, the [D] room felt empty and bare.
[E] As I turned to the closet, your [D] clothes were [A] not there.
I walked to the kitchen, [D] found our little girl with a note.
[E] As I read it to myself, the tears began to flow.
[A] And she said, please, Daddy, [E] don't cry that way.
[D] I know Mommy left us, but that's [A] okay.
Please, Daddy, [E] don't cry so hard.
