Capo: 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
A few minor changes from other tabs to make it a bit simpler for more beginners and corrected the lyrics.
It sounds the best if you play each string of each chord upward from the bass note.
[Intro]
Em G C F B
[Verse 1]
EmI got the letter back
Saying I can come and see you
GI really don't have time
But promised that I'd come and see you
CYou're sitting far away
FBut do you know I sometimes need you
BI know that you deserve
The time you got of all the people
EmI know you never bent
Even in the strongest wind
GI really wished to every God
That you were innocent
CI'm happy and I'm proud
FThat I can still call you my friend
BI hope you read the letters
And the magazines I send
[Pre-Chorus]
EmYou got your head up
But I don't have my Ghopes high
I know that you're aC good man
F And that's what, Bbrings a tear to my eye
[Chorus]
I'm like, Emohhhh
I hope you Gknow you're not alone in that hell
And there ain'tC, noFooo
BNo one can change it
No one can do it better than yourEmself
[Verse 2]
EmI was sixteen
And we used to roll together
GYou told me back then
That I was meant for something better
CYou know in our life
Nothing's gonna change but the weather
BIt seems it's been forever
Since we really stuck together
EmI'm living a crazy life
I wish that you could see it too
GSee a thousand people sing
My song from me to you
CEvery time I sing it
FYou know I'm bleeding too
BMan I accept you as you are
No I don't need the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
EmYou got your head up
But I don't have my Ghopes high
I know that you're aC good man F
AndB it brings a tear to my eye
[Chorus]
I'm like, Emohhhh
I hope you Gknow you're not alone in that hell
And there ain'tC, noFooo
BNo one can change it
No one can do it better than yourEmself
[Verse 3]
EmI reminisce to back then, when it was you and I
GSmoking big fat blunts, drive in movie night
CThey tried to get you down, Fbut you refused to die
BThey tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly
EmYou'd rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail
GThey're only punishing a soul that you will never sell
CWe both know that we owe Fnothing to each other
BBut can you blame me, for loving and missing my brother
[Outro Chorus]
EmOh, oh I hope you Gknow you're not alone in that hell
And there Cain't, noFooo
BNo one can change it
No one can do it better than yourEmself
EmOh, oh I hope you Gknow you're not alone in that hell
And there Cain't, noFooo
BNo one can change it
No one can do it better than yourEmself
