Stand By My Grave - Michael Bennett

Key (original): Gbm → Key (transposed): Em | Điệu: Blues

Intro:
[Cm] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]

Verse:
I'm Gone from your [Cm] days
No more chances to [Ab] take
You don't have to [Eb] avoid me It's a little too [Bb] late
I waited for [Cm] you
Until my knees [Ab] gave
You left me to die [Eb] alone I guess [Bb] that's fate

Chorus:
Go stand by my [Cm] grave Say what you never [Ab] said
Talk all you [Eb] want
To the ground I [Bb] left
You won't get me [Cm] back No matter how you [Ab] pray
Only God hears [Eb] now What you didn't [Bb] say

Solo:
[C] [Cm] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]

Verse:
You'll check your old [C] phone
[Cm] Like it might still [Ab] ring
But I won't be [Eb] there For [Bb] anything
You'll say you were [Cm] busy You'll say you were [Ab] fine
But truth stands [Eb] louder At the end of [Bb] time

Chorus:
Go stand by my [Cm] grave Say it out [Ab] loud
All the love you held [Eb] back Say it [Bb] now
No reply coming [C] back, No second [Ab] try
You had me in [Eb] life, Then watched it [Eb] die

Solo:
[Bb] [Cm] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb] [C] [Cm] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]

Bridge:
[F] Go stand by my [Cm] grave If it helps you [Ab] sleep
Only God hears [Eb] now What you didn't [Bb] keep
[Bbsus4] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

Verse:
It feels like I'm [Em] gone
While I'm still [C] here
Like I don't exist [G] Like I [D] disappear
It sits in my [Em] chest It won't let [C] go
It gets a little [G] worse
Every day is [D] slow
It's quiet and [Em] loud At the same [C] time
Like something is [G] wrong And I'm [G] the [D] crime
You didn't [Em] come when I was right here Waiting [C] for you
You didn't [G] come even once When I [D] needed you to
There was no [Em] fight no reason [C] Nothing in the way
Just you [G] choosing silence And [D] letting me fade

You

Chorus:
[Em] Didn't come and I felt every second of [C] that
Like I was [G] nothing to lose And not worth [D] coming back
I stayed the [Em] same I was here I didn't move at [C] all
You just [G] slowly decided [D] Not to come at [Em] all

Verse:
[Em7] [Em] Feels like a weight
That won't come [C] off
Like I'm not [G] enough
Like I got [D] lost
It stays in my [Em] head I don't
give rest Like I mean [C] nothing Like I'm less
It hurts in a [G] way I can't explain
No one can [D] see but it stays the same
No loud goodbyes [Em] No final word
Just being [C] erased without a sound
Hurt it leaves a [G] mark That won't heal right
It follows [D] me [D] Every night

Chorus:
You didn't [Em] come when I was right here Waiting [C] for you
You didn't [G] come even once [D] When I needed you to
There was no [Em] distance no walls [C] Nothing in your way
You just let me [G] disappear More with [D] every day
You didn't [Em] come and I felt every second [C] pass
Like I was [G] something you had And just chose [D] not to have

I stayed the [Em] same I was here I didn't move at [C] all
You just [G] slowly decided
Not [G] to come at all
You didn't [D] come when I was [Em] right here
