After I Am Gone

Em  D  Em  D

Verse

          Em
You don't call me anymore
D
You just say you're busy
          C
I see you laughing weird in the world
        D
But you don't make time for me
    Em                               D
You walk past everything I gave like it was nothing at all
  C
I gave you my whole life
    D
You can't give me one call
              Am       A5            Em                  C
I'm still your father, why do I feel erased? Yeah, I had flaws
            D
Yeah, I got loud
      A5
But I never once walked out 


Refrain

          Em
After I'm gone, you'll feel this pain
       D
Every ignore, text, every misname
                   C
When the wood hits dirt and the crowd goes home
            D
You finally understand what it means to be alone
               Em
You'll say you love me, you'll cry on cue
               D
But love shows up
                      C
Why didn't you? I was here
                D                    Em
I was breathing,    you just stopped believing


Verse

                                           D
And I was sick, you didn't know, and I was weak
                           C
You didn't show, you never asked if I was okay
          D
You never missed me enough to stay
             Em
I waited for you, you never came
D
Now I'm just a fading name
          C                                    D
I told myself you'd come around, but hope gets quiet without a sound
          C
After I'm gone, you'll wish you tried
              D                                         Em
You'll replay nights you let me cry, you'll stand there shaking
                                   D
Hands in regret, wishing you could undo what you chose to forget
                    C
You'll say you love me
                              D
Maybe you did, but love isn't words, it's what you'll give
         Em                                  D
Jesus forgives, I hope he does, because one day you'll answer for us
          C                   D                    Em      D
And he'll ask you simple and plain, why you never came?


Refrain

          Em
After I'm gone, don't tell the crowd
                D                                    C
You were proud, don't post my picture, don't say my name
                                          D
If you couldn't show up while I felt the pain
          Em
And I was here, I was alive
             D
You just thought I had more time
           C
After I'm gone, you'll finally see
             D
You didn't lose me, you abandoned me

Interlude

         Em
My hands bled just for you, I work until they shook
                C                             D
I missed my own dreams so you could chase the ones you took
  Am
I stood outside in the cold so you could sleep in worm light
             Em
I swallowed every fear just to keep you all right

No I sit alone in a house I build for us
            D
You pass my name in silence like I'm someone you don't trust
Am
You left me here waiting
               Em
You don't even try
                C
Yeah, I made mistakes
                  D
I wasn't easy to love
                            C
But I never stopeed showing up
             D
I never gave up


Refrain

           Em
After I'm gone, when the wood hits dirt
                      C
When the sound of goodbye finally starts to hurt
                 D
You'll wish you came
                                      Am
You wish you stayed, you replay every call you never made
             Em
You say you love me, you swear you cared
               C
But love shows up and you weren't there
       D
I was here, I was alive
         Am                  Em
You just thought I had more time

C

Verse

             Em
When I fell down, you never found me
D
When I needed you, you weren't around me
A
I watched your life move on so fast, while I was stuck inside the past
Em
I kept the porch light on at night

I told myself you make it right,
     C
but hope gets tired
    D
And so do I,
    C                   D
you left me behind and called it a lie,
                   C
you didn't mean to hurt me
                D                    C                     D
That's what you say, but not meaning to, still hurts this way


Refrain

          Em
After I'm gone
                                        C
Standing by my grave you'll cry for the time, you never gave
                  D
You'll touch that stone, you'll say my name
             Am
But it won't answer, it won't be the same
                   Em
You'll beg for one more chance to call
              C                        D
Silence won't answer, it all, Jesus forgives, I tried it too
            Am
But even he knows, love has to move
               C                  D
One day you'll stand before him alone
              Am
And he'll ask you why you never came home

Solo

Em   C   D    Am


Refrain

          Em
After I'm gone, when the dirt falls down
                     C
When they lowered me slow into the ground
                   D                                  Am
That's when you'll feel what you denied, I was still here
                                  Em
But you left me slide, I was your father, I needed you
         C
Not your money, just something true
          D                                             Am
After I'm gone, the grave will stay longer than I ever did
                     Em      C
Waiting for you that way
                     Em      C    D
Waiting for you that way
