The Book You Never Read

Intro.
 (D)  | (A)  | (D)  | (D) ---

                              D    
When you were lost and needed help,
                             A
 I hoped that you would turn to me
And when you couldn't help your- 
Em                           
self, I watched you drown that 
  Bm     A
misery
                          D     
I've seen the damage that you've 
                          A
done, every teardrop and misstep
                              Em   
You know I could've saved you some,
 G                D
 I'm the book you never read

[Chorus]
Bm             G                 
Your grandaddy carried me in the 
D
World War II
     A                   Bm
Your grandma swears that I'm the 
truth
     G                   D        
Your parent's hands were on me 
       A
when they wed
           Bm            G     
I'm like a member of the family, 
        D                A
three generations have handed me 
down

Em                   F#m       G
I'm in the drawer by your bed, 
                D
I'm the book you never read

                             D  
I can't take that first step for 
you, but when you take that step 
 A
you'll find
                            Em     
You are the key and I'm the door 
  G                          D
to, forgiveness and some peace of 
mind...you know

[Chorus]
Bm             G                 
Your grandaddy carried me in the 
D
World War II
     A                   Bm
Your grandma swears that I'm the 
truth
     G                   D        
Your parent's hands were on me 
       A
when they wed
           Bm            G     
I'm like a member of the family, 
        D                A
three generations have handed me 
down
Em              F#m           G 
And despite all they've said, 
                       D
still the book you never read --

 (G)  | (Bm) (F#m) | (G)  | (D)　| 

(D)

So when the world treats you un- 
D                                 
kindly, and your heart's heavy 
  A
with regret
That's when I wish that you would 
Em       F#m G
find me, I'm the book you never read

[Chorus]
Bm             G                 
Your grandaddy carried me in the 
D
World War II
     A                   Bm
Your grandma swears that I'm the 
truth
     G                   D        
Your parent's hands were on me 
       A
when they wed
           Bm            G     
I'm like a member of the family, 
        D                A
three generations have handed me 
down
Em                   F#m       G
I'm in the drawer by your bed, 
                        D
still the book you never read
