🎸 Verse 1:
A
But you had lost a lot of friends
They swam away, not to pretend
F#m
It was for the best
A
The party storms, the embrace
And you don't pick up when I count you down
F#m
Am I best left in the past?
A
So I make a space for things to float
I trim my weeds in search of growth
F#m
I’m okay with it
🎸 Chorus:
E
There I go, making a show
F#m
Of myself again
E
I'm still wedded to the idea that you
F#m
Are still there again
Bm
A symbol of relief
🎸 Post-Chorus:
A
You were a good man
F#m
You were the best
🎸 Verse 2:
A
The pills, they cure, they keep at bay
Instead of black, my days are grey
F#m
(You were a good man)
A
So I put my faith in what's to come
For it’s the thing you would have done
F#m
(You were the best)
A
If I couldn't have it all
I wanted nothing
F#m
If I couldn't have the depths of you
🎸 Chorus:
E
There I go, making a show
F#m
Of myself again
E
I'm still wedded to the idea that you
F#m
Are still there again

You were a good man
You were the best

🎸 Bridge:
E
Now you're less than a memory
F#m
You're an echo now, fake facsimile
E
They say hope is something to give yourself
A F#m
But it's not the same
I don't know how to get over you
🎸 Outro:
A F#m
Of things yet to come
A F#m
Of things yet to come
A F#m
Of things yet to come
A
Of things yet to come
