Verse 1:
E                                Gbm7
 We built our home out on the slopes

Pompeii beneath, she lay above
Dbm
  How she haunted our home
A
 How she haunted our home
E                        Gbm7
 You were a god in my eyes 
                                Dbm
G#ove the clouds, above the skies
                        A
You were a god in my eyes

You were a god

Interlude: E Gbm7 Dbm A

Verse 2:
E                                   Gbm7
 You took me walking through the town 

Showed me the statues underground
Dbm                               A
  Said just don't they look in peace
                            E
Sometimes I wish that was me
                           Gbm7
I was the son you always had 
                                     Dbm
Tugging at your coat when you were sad
                           A
I was the son you always had
                        E
I was the son you always had

Interlude: Gbm7 Dbm A

Chorus:
E
 Don't cry
         Gbm7
Hold your   head up high
         Dbm
She would  want you to
         A
She would want you to
    E
Please just don't cry

She would want you to

E                                Gbm7
 You said stay in the car and wait 

There's just some things I have to say
Dbm                             A
  Don't you know I miss her, too
                              E
I miss her just as much as you
                      Gbm7
So my father and my son 
                          Dbm
As you end what she's begun
                            A
You'll lie patient by her side
                          E
With roses red come lilies white

Interlude: Gbm7 Dbm A

E                           Gbm7
 I was too young to understand
                                 Dbm
The flowers slipping from your hands
                           A
I was too young to understand
                           E
I was too young to understand
                           Gbm7
I was too young to understand
                              Dbm
The flowers sleeping in her hands
                           A
I was too young to understand
                        E
I was too young to understand
