Why Ive Been Away Ukulele chords by Abbey Glover

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

🎸 Intro:

  C
I used to want to fly
Wanted to sit in the sky
  G
Away from it all
Looking down at the world



       Am
And my tears fall 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
I hurt the ones I love so dear
        Am
But I'm getting better day by day
              F
Thanks to the help from the ones I love
Who push all the pain away


🎸 Chorus:

             F                  C
And I'm still here and I'm gonna stay
             G                       F
And I'll keep 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
And 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 still here and I'm gonna stay
             G                       F
And I'll keep 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 fighting until I feel okay
                     F
I know things can get tough
                       C

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