[Verse 1]
C       G/B          Am7
Dear Mom, I miss me
     G
your happy son, the one that used to laugh
C          G/B
he got lost, in the cold
Am7
Never found
  G
except in your eyes and the photographs

C       G/B          Am7
Dear Dad, I'm sorry
    G
you said to be strong, your little man
C          G/B
but I let go, I'll never know
Am7
why it was me
          G
that they bullied so mercilessly


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am                        F
So let tomorrow start without me
Am                        Em
and just hold on to your memory


[Chorus 1]
C
I know I can't say momma please don't cry
G
and stop you from searching for a reason why
Am
just know that I'll miss and love you so
Em
it was my time so let me go
C
I know I've gotta say daddy now's goodbye
G
our memories your new lullaby
Am
I missed the chance to tell you so
Em
you're my best friend you're my hero
C
I just gotta let you know
G
It was my time I had to go

Am Em


[Verse 2]
C                 G/B          Am7
Dear Mama/Dear Son, I'm broken
    G
I'm filled with such guilt and misery
C                    G/B
I was here/I was here, I was alone - you weren't alone
Am7
and now I'm gone
G
your heart is now my forever home


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                        F
So let tomorrow start without me
Am              Em
Now it’s only a memory


[Chorus 2]
C
I know I can't say momma please don't cry
G
and stop you from searching for a reason why
Am
just know that I'll miss and I love you so
Em
it was my time so let me go
C
I know I've gotta say daddy now's goodbye
G
our memories your new lullaby
Am
I missed the chance to tell you so
Em
you're my best friend you're my hero


[Bridge]
C          G
Please forgive me
          Am              Em
How was I so blind didn't see your agony
C                              G
I was to shelter you from the rain
            Am                                Em
Oooh Oh Ooh be your strength and relieve your pain
C                           G
and though the world still turns
                   Am                Em
my heart just yearns for you ..... for you


[Breakdown Chorus]
C
I know I can't say momma please don't cry
G
and stop you from searching for a reason why
Am
just know that I'll miss and love you so
Em
it was my time I had to go


[Chorus 3]
C
I know I can't say momma please don't cry
G
I’ll never stop searching for a reason why
Am
just know that I'll miss and love you so
Em
it was my time so let me go
C
I know I've gotta say daddy now's goodbye
G
our memories your new lullaby
Am
I missed the chance to tell you so
Em
you're my best friend you're my hero
