Standard (EADGBE)

(Verse 1)

Got the news on friday mornin', but a tear I couldn't find

You showed me how I'm supposed to live and now you showed me how to die

I was lost till sunday mornin', I work up to face my fear

While writing you this goodbye song, I found a tear

(Chorus)

I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend

Even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven, 'cause that's right where you want to be

I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me

(Instrumental)

(Verse 2)

I got up and dialed your number, and your voice came on the line

With that old familiar message, I'd heard a thousand times it just said

Sorry that I missed you, leave a message and god bless

I know you think I'm crazy, but I had to hear your voice again

(Chorus)

I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend

Even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven, 'cause that's right where you want to be

I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me

(Instrumental)

(Bridge)

So play your upside down left handed backwards bass guitar

And I'll see you on the other side, superstar

(Chorus)

I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend

Even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven, 'cause that's right where you want to be

I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me

I'm still cry-in'

I'm cryin' for me, I'm still cryin'

(Outro)
