Fearless

[SONG]
{t:Fearless}

[G]It's not that long since you left
but you'd been g[E7]one for a while
it was [C]hard to see you fall so far
and be un[D]able to stop the slide
[G]The one thing that I've wished for
in the d[E7]ays since you've been gone
is that you [C]knew we were with you
and that your m[D]emory will live on
{soc}
[G]I hope that you were fearless
[D]as time ran out on you
[C]we couldn't change this ending
[D]there was nothing we could do
[G]just know that you were loved
[D]when all was said and done
[C]I'm glad that we were friends
[D]and I'm proud to be your son
{eoc}
[G]She tried her best to help you
from the s[E7]tart right to the end
but you were [C]too far in to realise
too fr[D]agile to break the trend
[G]Her bad memories will fade in time
leaving the [E7]good ones in their place
They'll h[C]elp her to get through this
and put a s[D]mile back on her face

{c:Chorus}

[C]I never t[D]hought, I'd be si[G]nging a song like t[Am7]his
[C]I never wan[D]ted, to see her pla[G]cing her last k[Am7]iss
[C]I always h[D]oped, you'd win the f[G]ight and change your w[Am7]ays
[C]but you lost, [D]now it's over, [G]we have to go on withou[Am7]t you
[C]saying goodbye [D]so early, was t[G]he hardest thing to d[Am7]o
[C]but we're strong and we'll [D]do this, another t[G]rial to get
thr[Am7]ough     [C]     [G]

[G]I'm thinking of the future
and all the [E7]things that you'll miss
You'll n[C]ever meet my children
Or h[D]ear me singing this
But every [G]now and then I'll think of you
and my [E7]face will crack a smile
Do your [C]best not to forget me
come and [D]look in for a while
{c:chorus to fade}
[/SONG]
The chord placings may be a little out, but should be more or less there.

Fairly obvious from the lyrics but this is about the recent death of my dad. Written soon after he died. Hopefully it doesn't bum too many of you guys out...but hey, it's cheaper than therapy right?!

Note to self: Must try to write something cheerier!!
