[Intro]
C E Am G F E C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C Gm FYou haven’t talked to me since I was 19
Fm CI’m stuck here with your jewelry boxes and your memory
GmBut we don’t get to choose
FThere’s no good time to lose someone
Fm EmBut you only know who I was, not who I’ve grown to be
Am C FYou’re up there with all my prayers
FmIt’s not fair
 
 
[Chorus]
FI still see you in the mirror
F GAnd the pictures by the stairs
CAnd when I’m sitting down for dinner
AmYou’re in the empty chair
GI know I get to see you everywhere
Am DEven though you’re not around
F Fm CI just wish that you could see me now
 
 
[Verse 2]
C GmMy closet overflows
FCause I keep all your clothes
FmNo, I don’t even wear them
CBut I never let them go
GmAnd this city wants to change me
FBut I’ll keep the nose you gave me
FmCause I wanna look just like you
EmWhen you’re gone
Am C FYou up there with all my prayers
FmIt's not fair
 
 
[Chorus]
FI still see you in the mirror
F GAnd the pictures by the stairs
CAnd when I’m sitting down for dinner
AmYou’re in the empty chair
GI know I get to see you everywhere
Am DEven though you’re not around
F Fm F C GI just wish that you could see me now
Am F C GI wish that you could see me now
 
 
[Bridge]
F GWhen I’m looking in the mirror on my wedding day
CAnd when I Go to start a family
AmI’ll raise my kids the same
GThrough every milestone
GThe highs and lows
Am G DI’ll feel you when you’re not around
F FmI just wish that you could see me now
 
 
[Outro]
C EYou’re really a special kid
Am Gm FBut I don’t want that to Go to your head, alright?
CI love you more than any pop pop ever loved a grandson
