[Intro]
| C | Am | C | Am |
[Verse 1]
C
I knew a boy once when I was small
Am
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
C
He played the drum in the marching band
Am
C Am
His parents cared more about the Bible
C
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7 Am
And somehow, we fell out of touch
Fmaj7 Am
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Fmaj7 Am
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
G6
But if you're out there,
G7
I hope that you're okay
C Am C Am
[Verse2]
C
My middle school friend grew up alone
Am
She raised her brothers on hеr own
C
Her parents hated who shе loved
Am C Am
She couldn't wait to go to college
C
She was tired 'cause she was brought into a world
Am
Where family was merely blood
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
Does she know how proud I am she was created
Fmaj7 Am
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred?
Fmaj7
We don't talk much,
Am
but I just gotta say
G6 G7 C
I miss you and I hope that you're okay
[Bridge]
Am
Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings
C
Nothing's forever,
Am
nothing was as good as it seems
D7sus4
And when the clouds won't iron out
Fmaj7 C
And the monsters creep into your house
G6
And every door is hard to close
[Chorus]
Well,
Fadd9 Am7
I hope you know how proud I am you were created
Fadd9 Am7
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
But, God,
Fmaj7 Am7
I hope that you're happier today
G6
'Cause I love you
G7
And I hope that you're okay
