Standard (EADGBE)

It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day

The roses came, but they took you away

Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm

Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone

And I'll never get to show you these songs

Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on,

I see you standing there next to Mom

Always singing along, yeah arm in arm

[Continue with the same pattern]

And there are days when I'm losing my faith

Because the man wasn't good he was great

He'd say music was the home for your pain

And explain, I was young, he would say

"Take that rage, put it on a page

Take the page to the stage

Blow the roof off the place"

I'm tryna make you proud

Do everything you did

I hope you're up there with God

Saying that's my kid

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now

(Oh if you could see me now)

If you could see me now would you recognize me

Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me

Would you follow every line on my tear stained face

Put your hand on a heart that's was cold as the day you were taken away

I know its been awhile but I could you see clear as day

Right now, I wish I could hear you say

I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch

But if you can't see me now that shit's a must

You used to say I won't know---

Like I wont' know real love till I've loved then I've lost it

And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom

And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son

And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now

So if you get a second to look down at me now

Mom, Dad, I just missing you now

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now

Oh.. Oh..

Would you call me a saint or a sinner?

Would you love me a loser or winner?

Oh.. Oh..

When I see my face in the mirror

We look so alike that it makes me

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now

Oh..

You could see, you could see me now

(You could see, you could see me now)
