[Intro] C Am
C Am
I knew a boy once, when I was small
C
A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt
Am
He played the drum in the marching band
C Am
His parents cared more about the Bible
C
Than being good to their own child
Am
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
F7M Am
And somehow, we fell out of touch
F7M Am
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
F7M Am
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
G G6 G7
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
( C Am )
C Am
My middle school friend grew up alone
C
She raised her brothers on her own
Am
Her parents hated who she loved
C Am
She couldn't wait to go to college
C
She was tired 'cause she was brought
Am
Into a world where family was merely blood
F7M Am
Does she know how proud I am she was created
F7M Am
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
F7M Am
We don't talk much but I just gotta say
G G6 G7
I miss you, and I hope that you're okay
C Am
Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings
C Am
Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems
Dm F7M
And when the clouds won't iron out
C
And the monsters creep into your house
G
And every door is hard to close
F7M Am
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
F7M Am
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
F7M Am
God, I hope that you're happier today
G G6 G7
'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're okay
