[Verse 1]

Db             Eb
The greatest fears
             Bbm                   
Are ones you never thought that you
             Db Bbm
 would have
Bbm       Eb
Wasted years
         Bbm7            Bbm      
An attic full of wedding 
    Db
photographs
       Eb
Mama's tears
     Bbm           Eb       Db   
That quiver in her voice as she 
    Ab
says

[Chorus]
 Gb                          Db   
"Son don't you dare think you 
                        Ab
won't be missed when you're gone
              Ebm                  
But please be strong and please 
  Gb Ab Db
move on"

[Verse 2]

Db      Eb
Circles of
Bbm                          
Passing up through gas station 
    Db    Ab Bbm
cigars
      Eb      Db                
Every part is swirling down and 
Bbm   Bb         Db
anchoring my heart
Db     Eb
Mama's love
       Gb                      
That quiver in her voice as she 
Db                 Ab
looked at me and said

[Chorus]

Gb                        Db     
"Son don't you dare think you 
                         Ab
won't be missed when you're gone

But please be strong, please move

[Verse 3]

Gb                           Ebm
I know next year when winter ends
Gb                           Ebm
We'll cycle round and cold wet days
Gb                       Ebm
Perhaps the summer sun can make
Gb                       Ebm     
The home my father never meant to
      Db
 leave

"Son don't you dare think you

won't be missed when you're gone
Ab            Ebm                 
But please be strong, please move 
Gb   Ab
on"
