Intro:

G   Em  C/G   A/D  2x

Verse 1:

G
This is a story of a young prince
Em
Never got to taste the sweet things
C/G
He never got to spread his wild wings
D/A
To have a chance to fly
G

This is a story 'bout a heartache
Em
The kind that makes a father's hand shake
C/G
The kind that makes a mother's heart break
D/G
And makes them question life


G  Em  C/G  A/D

Verse 2:

G
We had our time of no tomorrow
Em
There was no pain, no sorrow
C/G
Now it feels every smile was borrowed
D/A
My body yearning for the bottle
G
I hope that as we're growing older
Em
The weight gets lighter on our shoulders
C/G
But since you're gone, your mother's colder
D/A
And all that I can do is hold her


Chorus:

D/A    Em             C/G
Oh Gabriel, my angel child
               D/A
This is no goodbye
               Em
'Cause when I close my eyes
    C/G
I keep the dream alive
D/A    Em             C/G
Oh, I see you in the sky tonight
                          D/A
And I watch your starlight glow
              Em              C/G
And you never leave, so I'll never let you go

G  Em  C/G  D/A

Verse 3:

G
Maybe someday we'll be there with you
Em
Amongst the stars of red and bright blue
C/G
But until then, shine on your mother
D/A
Be a guiding light for your big brother

Verse 4:

G
Oh, every smile is worth the crying
Em
And every fight is worth the fighting
C/G                               D/A
My little star, you just keep on shining


Chorus:

D/A    Em             C/G
Oh Gabriel, my angel child
               D/A
This is no goodbye
               Em
'Cause when I close my eyes
    C/G
I keep the dream alive
D/A    Em             C/G
Oh, I see you in the sky tonight
                          D/A
And I watch your starlight glow
              Em              C/G
And you never leave, so I'll never let you go

G  Em  C/G  D/A
