Why Ive Been Away Acoustic Live chords by Abbey Glover

• Difficulty: Beginner

♫ Intro:
       C
I used to want to fly
Wanted to sit in the sky
G
Away from it all
Looking down on the world
   Am
My tears falling down
Just like rain from the clouds
      F
But I realise I’d be crying on the ones that I love now

♫ Verse 1:

       C
I used to want to die
Tried to take my own life
  G
I didn’t want to be here
Hurt the ones I love so dear
        Am
And I’m getting better day by day
         F
With the help from the ones I love
Who help push the pain away


♫ Chorus:

             F                     C
And I’m still here and I’m going to stay
                G                      F
And I’ll keep on fighting until I feel okay
                     F
I know things can get tough
                    C
But there’s so much beautiful
                      G
And there’s no need to rush
                     F
I’ll just take things slow
              C
It’s gonna be okay


♫ Verse 2:

             C
I’ve stopped drinking alcohol
     G
From morning to night
          Am
I’ve been working on my eating
                F
Gaining weights normal it’s alright
          C
I’ve been dancing in my kitchen
   G
To all my favorite tunes
            Am
It’s just a shame my friends don’t miss me
     F
Ever since I moved


♫ Verse 3:

          C
I lost my passion for music
      G
But I think it’s coming back
         Am
And I’ve been away so long
      F
And I apologise for that
           C
I love you all so dearly
     G
So I wrote this song
            Am
To tell you all of the reasons
   F
Of why I’ve been gone


♫ Chorus:

        F                     C
But I’m here and I’m going to stay
                G                      F
And I’ll keep on fighting until I feel okay
                     F
I know things can get tough
                    C
But there’s so much beautiful
                      G
And there’s no need to rush
                     F
I’ll just take things slow
              C G
It’s gonna be okay
              Am F
It’s gonna be okay
              C G
It’s gonna be okay
              Am
It’s gonna be okay
    F
I'm okay
    F
I'm okay

And I’ll keep on fighting until I feel okay
                     F
I know things can get tough
                    C
But there’s so much beautiful

I’ll just take things slow
                   C
Everything will be okay
