You are still my boy
FF A7A7
Even though you're gone now
DmDm A7A7 DmDm G+G
We have your memories lingerin' on
FF B7B7
Boyish laughter rings out clear
C majorC A7A7
And it seems you must be near
D7D7 Dm7Dm7
Footsteps sound and I look around
G9G9 Gaug9
And I look to see if you are here
C majorC E7E7
You still claim a part
FF A7b9A7b9 A7A7
Of that hopeful place I call my heart
DmDm A7A7 DmDm G+G
Hopeless is a word I never learned
FF B7B7
Though my head knows what is true
C majorC A7A7
That we've seen the very last of you
D7D7 Dm7Dm7
My heart won't listen, it just keeps missin'

That lovin' boy that it once knew
C majorC E7E7
You will always be

You will always be

Somewhere deep inside of me

I know it, yes I know it
DmDm G+G
I can feel it

And then there's nothin' ever gonna bring him back, oh

You are still my boy

Even though, even though you're gone now
DmDm A7A7 DmDm
I hear your laughter lingerin' on
