Verse:

C
Left all the flowers in the living room

                                Dm
Shook every hand I didn't know

                                            C
Stacked all the cards I'll read to you when I get alone

C

I made your bed, hung your favourite dress

                                       Dm
Mailed all the letters that you saved

                                                 C
Broke the news over every call that you couldn't make

Chorus:

Am            G         C          F
Never written down in a will, on a page

        Am              G         C          F
I do my best to try and keep you around this place

              G                            C   F  C
'Cause I know, you would've wanted it that way

Verse:

C
You oldest boy gave his girl your ring

                                 Dm
They set a wedding date in June

                                        C
Your daughter named her brown-eyed baby after you

C
I call my youngest brother once a day

                                   Dm
And you would be so proud to know

                                 C
He brings you yellow roses every time he's home

Chorus:

Am            G         C          F
Never written down in a will, on a page

          Am              G         C          F
We do our best to try and keep you around this place

               G                            C
'Cause we know, you would've wanted it that way

Verse:

C
I found a letter in your dresser drawer

                             Dm
With my name and no address

                                            C
Waiting for me and a birthday card that you never sent

C
You spoke to me like you never have

                                       Dm
The words you held back all this time

                                                  C
Were the ones you could never say while you were alive

Chorus:

          Am                    G         C      F
Why did I have to hear you were proud of me this way?

          Am            G                     C         F
I'm gonna carry this letter around, so you're here everyday

              G       F    G                            C   F  C
'Cause I know, yes, I know, you would've wanted it that way

C
Wanted it that way, you
