Chords for Rick Springfield sharing family LOVE

I don't think, but he was there for me always.
[D#] And _ _ [A#] he got cancer [C#] and uh_ _
You guys know what cricket is?
[Cm] You know the English game?
[C#] Horrible games, like baseball on Percocet.
[F#] You ever played baseball on Percocet?
You know what cricket's like?
Slowest game in the [C#m] world.
It can last for five days and can still be a draw.
_ But my dad loved cricket.
As he was dying, he would sit [C#] in his [A#] blue leather rocket chair
and he'd watch cricket on the TV all day long.
_ [A#] And when he finally passed away, I [C#] went _ home for the service. _
And after the service, we went back to our house.
[A#m] And I happened to [G#] go into that room to get something.
And I saw his [D#] chair just sitting there.
_ _ And I realized for the first [C#] time that he wouldn't be coming home.
_ _ And that image stayed with me.
_ [D#m] Three years later, I [F#] wrote a song for my dad called My [C#m] Father's Chair.
_ And I'm going to sing that for you.
But first, _ uh_
[F#] It's a song, a short song that I wish I never had the reason to write.
But my mom passed away last December.
_ [C#] _ _ [A#] _ And uh, she was 96 years old. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [A#m] _ When my dad died, I kind of felt like I stepped up.
I had to step up and, you know, become a [C#m] man.
When my mom died, I suddenly felt like a little boy. _
_ _ _ _ [F#] Where's mommy, you know?
[C#m] _
_ [C#m] I figured in those 96 [A#m] years that she lived, _ her heart beat [F#m] over 4 billion [F#] times. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm a little kid lost, _ [C#] alone and [D#m]
confused.
_ [G#m] My mommy died, _ [A#m]
my mommy died.
[F#] I woke in the night [A#m] to the terrible [F#] news.
_ [G#m]
Mommy, you died, [A#m] I'm broken _ inside.
[B] Boy, I was made of [C#]
stronger [F#] stuff.
_ _ [B] Believed I [F#] could weather [B] a storm this [C#] rough.
_ 4 billion _ heartbeats [A#m] still weren't [D#m] enough. _
[G#m] And mommy, you died, _ [A#m] mommy, you died.
_ [A#m] I know that [C#] you're free, you're all [D#] right.
_ [D#] _ You walk [A#m] hand in hand with my [B] father [C#] again _ _ [F#] tonight. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ My _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
father's chair still standing there, [C#] all alone [D#m] since [G#] the long [C#] night. _
Now it's [F#] three years on and I still feel he'll [C#] come home, [D#m] we'll [G#] be all right.
[C#] _ _ [F#] Where's this healing time for [B] us?
I [C#] was told the pain [F#] would ease, but it [G#] still hurts like [B] the first time.
[C#] _ _ _ _ That [F#] night my brother, _ [D#m] _ my mother and [C#] I were looking up at [F#] a distant star.
_ _ _ _ [G#] _
[F#] Been wishing we could [G#m] reach [C#] that far.
_ _ _ [C#] Back [F#] in the house, head [D#m] alone [C#] for the first time.
[G#] We told each [F#] other we [B] cared, _ _ [D#m] _ _ [A#] _ and we [D#m]
avoided my [C#] _ _ [F#] father's chair. _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
I [Em] watch my family, [N] we hold on, _ we are strong.
The _ _ _ _ _ clock [D#] continues counting down all the while.
[C#] And every child shared a long night.
_ [G] _
It will [A#m] scare me again.
[B] _ _ [C#] Why am I still so [F#] filled with doubt?
[B] Is my [C#] [D#m] soul ever [F#] last?
_ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [F#] Far there's no future [D#m] when I knew you'd [C#] be gone.
_ [B] _ It came too [G#] fast, _ [F#] it stays too long. _
[G#] I'm failing, [F#] no weaker spirit, [B] it [C#] isn't strong.
_ [G#] When the world turns [F#] sour [C#m] and I [D#m] get sick [C#] from the smell.
_ _ [G#] And I can't find a little comfort there, _ _ _ _ _ [B] I climb [C#] into my _ father's.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
