"The Abandoned"

E minorEm
Staring at the wall,
D/F#m            G+G     D/F#m
I never thought this would be so hard.
         E minorEm           D/F#m
How could I have been so close and never known you?
    G+G             D/F#m
I never knew, I never knew you at all!

E minorEm              D/F#m
You will always be my father but I hope you know,
G+G                  D/F#m
It's your fault and I'll never know what that means.
E minorEm             D/F#m
You left a void that never could be replaced.
   G+G             D/F#m
I am dying inside but you will never see!

A minorAm E minorEm          D/F#m    G+G   D/F#m
I always had hoped that you did not want it this way,
A minorAm        E minorEm          D/F#m
But no matter how hard I try you always pushed me away.

You said you loved me but...

C majorC    E minorEm      D/F#m
How was I supposed to know
     G+G   D/F#m
(How was I supposed to know)
   E minorEm
When you left me here,
D/F#m      C majorC
You left me here alone?
A minorAm    E minorEm       D/F#m
Do I ever even cross your mind,
G+G     D/F#m
Just for a second?
A minorAm   E minorEm    D/F#m
Do you know I'm alive?

E minorEm       D/F#m            G+G
You know I would let you in but you threw everything away.
D/F#m                         E minorEm
So tell me what did you get from all of these years of pain?
      D/F#m
You have no clue what I've been through,
G+G                  D/F#m
But I guess that you wanted it that way!

If you would've been there when I needed you,

You would've been so
