Hey Lau ra,

Lau ra, (Em7)ooh.

Hey Lau ra,

Lau ra.

Ev ’ry once in a while

I’d see her smile

and she’d (G)turn my day a round.

A girl with those eyes

could stare through the lies

and (Bm7)see what your heart was say ing.

Think of Lau ra, but laugh, don’t cry.

I know she’d (E)want it that way.

Hey yeah, when you think of Lau ra, well, laugh, don’t cry.

I know she’d (E)want it that way.

A friend of a friend,

a friend ’til the end,

(Bm7)that’s the kind of girl she was.

Tak en a way so young;

(Em7)tak en a way

(G)with out a warn ing.

Think of Lau ra, but laugh, don’t cry.

I know she’d (E)want it that way.

Hey yeah, when you think of Lau ra, well, laugh, don’t cry.

I know she’d (E)want it that way.

I know you

and you’re here

in (E)ev ’ry day we live.

I know her and well, she’s here,

and I (E)feel her when I sing.

Hey Lau ra,

where are you now?

(Bm7)Are you far a way from here?

I don’t think so.

I think you’re here,

(G)tak ing our tears a (A)way.

Hey yeah, well, I know she’d (E)want it that way.

Hey (F#)Lau (B)ra,
