Stand By My Grave

Stand By My Grave - Michael Bennett

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

Intro:
[Ebm] [B] [Gb] [Db]

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

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

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

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

Solo:
[Db] [Ebm] [B] [Gb] [Db] [Eb] [Ebm] [B] [Gb] [Db]

Bridge:
[Ab] Go stand by my [Ebm] grave If it helps you [B] sleep
Only God hears [Gb] now What you didn't [Db] keep
[Dbsus4] [Gm] [Eb] [Bb] [F]

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

You

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

Verse:
[Gm7] [Gm] Feels like a weight
That won't come [Eb] off
Like I'm not [Bb] enough
Like I got [F] lost
It stays in my [Gm] head I don't
give rest Like I mean [Eb] nothing Like I'm less
It hurts in a [Bb] way I can't explain
No one can [F] see but it stays the same
No loud goodbyes [Gm] No final word
Just being [Eb] erased without a sound
Hurt it leaves a [Bb] mark That won't heal right
It follows [F] me [F] Every night

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

I stayed the [Gm] same I was here I didn't move at [Eb] all
You just [Bb] slowly decided
Not [Bb] to come at all
You didn't [F] come when I was [Gm] right here
