Verse 1:
       C
Twenty-three
       F                  G                    C
Make a wish, blow out the candles, but I still see
           F                 G                  Am
There's an empty chair where you're supposed to be-
        G
Next to me


Verse 2:
       C
Twenty-three
         F              G                C
They say I got my whole life in front of me
         F                    G           Am
But ever since you left, it's harder to believe
                             G
And these tears are teaching me

Chours:
     C             F
That time ain't no friend
       G            Em
All it ever does is end
        Am            D/F#            C
How was I supposed to know it'd be so soon?
        C                F
Oh, but you sure made it count
         G                   Em
Boy, you ran that road right out
         Am            D/F#            G  E7
Made the most of every second God gave you
            Am            A/G                    F                  C
And I'll be lucky to live half the life with the time that He gives me
             F         Am     G           C
Than all the years you fit in only twenty-three


Verse 3:
         F                G                 C
You were blowing out your candles just like me
              F                 G           C
You had that "I'm gonna live forever" kinda free
           G
But why up there and not with me


Chours:
C             F
Time ain't no friend
       G            Em
All it ever does is end
        Am            D/F#            C
How was I supposed to know it'd be so soon?
        C                F
Oh, but you sure made it count
         G                   Em
Boy, you ran that road right out
         Am            D/F#            G  E7
Made the most of every second God gave you
            Am            A/G                    F                  C
And I'll be lucky to live half the life with the time that He gives me
             F         Am     G
Than all the years you fit in only twenty-three

Outro:
       C
Twenty-three
          F              G                 C
Here's to one more trip around the sun for me
       F               G               Am
I know you and God are looking down on me
                       G
I'll make you proud of me
             C
In my twenty-three
