VERSE 1 Steady tempo 12/8 time
You Gfold his hands, and smooth his tie, you gently lift his chin. Were you Cadd9really so blind and unkind to him? Can't Em/F#help the itch to touch, to kiss, to hold him once again. Now, to Fadd9close his eyes; never Am/Dopen Csus2them.
BRIDGE 1 G7(no3) C Cm G A shadow passed, a shadow passed,
Cm6YearnGing, CyearnGing A7for the fool It Cadd9called a home.
CHORUS 1
GAll things he never did are Cadd9left behind; All the things his Em/F#mama wished he'd bear in mind, And Fadd9all his dad ever Am/Dhoped he'd Csus2know.
Am/DOhhh-oh-oh-Cadd9oh-oh-Fadd9oh...
VERSE 2
The Gtalks you never had, the Saturdays you never spent, All the Cadd9"grown up places" you never went; And Em/F#all of the crying you wouldn't understand, You just Fadd9let him cry: "MaAm/Dke a man ouC5t of him."
BRIDGE 2 G7(no3) C Cm G A shadow passed, a shadow passed,
Cm6YearnGing, CyearnGing A7for the fool It Cadd9called a home.
CHORUS 2
Gadd9All things he never did are Cadd9left behind; All the things his Em/Amama did to make him mind And Fadd9how his dad had Am/Dhoped he'd Csus2grow.
CHORUS 3
Gadd9All things he ever lived are Cadd9left behind; All the fears that Em/Aever flickered through his mind; All the Fadd9sadness that he'd Am/Dcome to Csus2own.
