G                                D&F#          
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody 
      Em                          Bm7          
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady 
C                    G&B
Put your hand way up high 
              Am7  D11
We will never say bye (no, no, no) 
G                                     D&F#
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins 
 Em                              Bm7
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers 
C                     G&B
Lift your head to the sky 
                   Am7  D11
'Cos we will never say bye 
G           D&F#
As a child there were them times 
Em                       Bm7
I didn't get it but you kept me in line 
          C                               G&B
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times 
                          Am7
On Sunday mornings and I missed you 
                 D11
But I'm glad we talked through 
          G                    D&F#
All them grown full things separation brings 
     Em                        Bm7
You never let me know it, you never let it show 
             C               G&B
Because you loved me and obviously 
               Am7
Theres so much more left so say 
             D11                   G
If you were with me today face to face 


(Chorus) 
              D&F#               Em                 
I never knew I could hurt like this 
             Bm7     
And everyday life goes on like 
    C
'I wish I could talk to you for awhile' 
 G&B
'Miss you but I try not to cry' 
Am7        D11
   As time    goes by 
G                      D&F#            Em
   And as soon as you reached a better place 
                     Bm7               C
Still I'll give the world to see your face 
                         
(bye) And be back here next to you 
G&B
(bye)It feels like you're gone too soon 
Am7                              D11            G
(bye)Now the hardest thing to do    is say bye bye 
 D&F#  Em  Bm7 C  G&B  Am7   
(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3 
   D11
Bye bye 
         G                             D&F#
And you never got a chance to see how good I've done 
         Em                                Bm7
And you never got to see me back at number one 
C                                 G&B
I wish that you were here to celebrate together 
Am7                                D11
I wish that we could spend the holidays together 
     G                              D&F#
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night 
          Em                           Bm7
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight 
    C
I thought you were so strong 
               G&B
You'd make it through whatever 
     Am7                               D11          G
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever 

 
(Chorus) 
              D&F#               Em                 
I never knew I could hurt like this 
             Bm7     
And everyday life goes on like 
    C
'I wish I could talk to you for awhile' 
 G&B
'Miss you but I try not to cry' 
Am7        D11
   As time    goes by 
G                      D&F#            Em
   And as soon as you reached a better place 
                     Bm7               C
Still I'll give the world to see your face 
                         
(bye) And be back here next to you
