verse 1: 
 
G                          Cadd9       
Every man has his place in time 
G                                  Cadd9 
Everyone has a loved one that they leave behind 
D                                    Am 
Even though I'm not right there with you 
    D                              Cadd9            D 
I'm watching from a distance, just wishing that you knew 
 
Chorus: 
     G                             Cadd9     
I'll always hear the prayers in my head late at night 
    G                             D 
I'm walking right beside you when nobody's by your side 
  G                          Cadd9 
I don't want you to cry over my memory 
   Em        D 
So go(ooooo) o(ooooo)n 
        G 
without me, without me 
 
verse 2: 
I hope that it's my love that makes you feel 
That you can get back on your feet, yeah I swear you will 
Oh you got so much of this life left to live 
I'll be smiling at the thought of you just like I always did 
 
Chorus x2 
 
G                                 Cadd9 
Every breath of life is short and sweet 
   G                            Cadd9 
So glad that I'm up here that I got to see 
    Em D          G 
You go on without me
