Lyrics

Things were all good yes ter day and then the dev il took your mem o ry.

And if you fell to your death to day, I hope that heav en is your rest ing place.

I heard the doc tors put your chest in pain.

But then that could have been the me di cine.

There you are ly ing in the bed a gain.

Ei ther way, I’ll cry with the rest of them.

And my (Am)fa ther told me, son, it’s not his fault he does n’t know your (F)face.

And you’re (Am)not the on ly one.

Al though my (Gm7)grand ma used to (C)say

he used to sing.

Darl ing, hold in my your (Bb)arms the way you did last night.

And we’ll lie in side, a lit tle while here, oh.

I could look in to your (Bb)eyes un til the sun comes up.

And we’re wrapped in light and life and love.

Put your o pen lips and (Bb)mine and slow ly let them shut, for they’re de signed to be to geth er, oh.

With your bod y next to (Bb)mine, our hearts will beat as one.

And we’re set a light.

We’re a fire love.

now we’re left here with the pain, black suit, black tie, stand ing in the rain.

And now my fam i ly is one a gain.

Six years old, I re mem ber when.

And my (Am)fa ther told me, son, it’s not his fault he does n’t know your (F)face.

Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.

Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
