[Intro] C Am G C Am ..................... [Verse 1] C Am I knew a boy once, when I was small
C A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt Am He played the drum in the marching band C Am His parents cared more about the Bible C Than being good to their own child Am He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad [Chorus] F Am And somehow, we fell out of touch F Am Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush F Am Don't know if I'll see you again someday G G7 But if you're out there....... C I hope that you're okay [Interlude] Am C Am ............... [Verse 2] C Am My middle school friend grew up alone C She raised her brothers on her own Am Her parents hated who she loved C Am She couldn't wait to go to college C She was tired 'cause she was brought Am Into a world where family was merely blood
[Chorus] F Am Does she know how proud I am she was created F Am With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred F Am We don't talk much but I just gotta say G G7 "I miss you........ C and I hope that you're okay" [Bridge] Am Address the letters, C to the holes in my butterfly wings Am Nothing's forever, Dm nothing is as good as it seems F And when the clouds are ironed out C And the monsters creep into your house G And every door is hard to close [Chorus] F Am Well I hope you know how proud I am you were created F Am With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred F Am Oh god, I hope that you're happier today G G7 "Cause I love you......... C Am C Am and I hope that you're okay"............. C Dm C Dm C ...........................
