Intro: C Am x2 C Am I knew a boy once, when I was small C A towhead blond, with eyes of salt Am He played the drum in the marching band C Am His parents cared more about the Bible C Than being good to their own child Am He wore long sleeves cuz of his dad Chorus: F Am And somehow we fell out of touch F Am Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush F Am Donʼt know if Iʼll see you again someday G C But if youʼre out there, I hope that youʼre okay Instrumental: Am C Am C Am My middle school friend grew up alone C She raised her brothers on her own Am Her parents hated who she loved C Am She couldnʼt wait to go to college C She was tired cuz she was brought Am Into a world where family was merely blood Chorus: F Am Does she know how proud I am she was created F Am With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred F Am We donʼt talk much but I just gotta say G C «I miss you, and I hope that youʼre okay» Bridge: Address the letters Am To the holes in my butterfly wings C Am F Nothingʼs forever, nothingʼs as good as it seems Am And when the clouds wonʼt iron out C And the monsters creep into your house G And every door is hard to close Chorus: F Am Well I hope you know how proud I am you were created F Am With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred F Am God, I hope that youʼre happier today G C «Cuz I love you, and I hope that youʼre okay» Coda: Am C Am
