Key (original): B → Key (transposed): A (Capo II.) | Điệu: Ballad

Intro:
[C#m7] [C#m] [D#7] [G#m] [F#] [E]

Verse:
Your mama's [G#m] picture still on the wall
[D#] Right where she used to pray
The house secondswent [D#] quiet when she was gone
And I [G#m] just drifted away
Not out the [G#m] door not down the road
But somewhere [C#m] I couldn't see
You [C#m] were sitting right
Couldn't see you were sitting right [F#] beside me
But you weren't [B] there for me
I kept [C#m] waiting for you to [C#m7] notice that I was [D#] breaking [D#7] too

Chorus:
You were [G#m] there but not for [C#m] me
You were [F#] crying I never broke [B] through
You didn't need me [Emaj7] perfect [E]
You just [D#7] needed me to be [G#m]
true And your whole world [C#m] fell apart
And I was on my knees You were [D#7] there but not For me

Inst.:
[Emaj7] [C#m] [D#7] [G#m] [C#m] [D#7]

Ooh yeah [G#m]

Verse:
You learned to [G#m] hide it in your smile
And I [C#m] let that fool my eyes
Every [F#] time you needed saving
[B] I just passed you by
[D#] And I see you [G#m] now in strangers'
arms Looking for [C#m] what I never gave
But every [F#] time they walked away It felt like [B] losing you
And I kept [C#m] hoping you would
turn around and finally [D#] see me

Chorus:
I was [G#m] there but not for [C#m] me
A ghost [F#] inside my memory
[B] I didn't need your [E] money I just [D#]
needed you to [G#m] see that I was just
A [C#m] little girl [D#7] Begging on her knees
You [Emaj7] were [C#m7] there but [D#m7] not For [G#m7] me [G#m] [G#m7]

Bridge:
[G#m] And I don't [C#m] hate you I just don't [F#] understand
How a father can be [B] present But never hold your [E] hand
Maybe you were broken Maybe [C#m] you were lost [D#] too
But I was just a [E] child
Still reaching for [D#7] you

Chorus:
You were [G#m] there but not for me
And that's [B] the hardest memory
[B] Not that you ever [E] left me
But you [D#7] never chose to [G#m] be
And I'm still learning how to [C#m]
love Without [F#] that emptiness in me
[B] I was freed from the [E] man who
stayed But wasn't [G#m] there for me [C#m]

Outro:
[D#] [D#7] [G#m] You were [E] there

[D#] But I needed you
