Intro
Bm A Bm Bm G A G A Bm


[Verse 1]
   Bm           A        Bm
These are my words of wisdom
                Bm      G
I pass down from me to you
               A           G
The road that you are lost on
              A        Bm
Has but one path to choose
                     A       Bm
And although your soul lies heavy
                     Bm       G
It's a weight that you must bear
                            A
Cause you will carry their loss with
        G
 you always

But please don't despair   A G


[Chorus]
   G              A Bm
Just wait for a sign
                       A           G
And the pain in your heart will die

But I can't lie, no
      D
It never leaves, it never leaves
                 A        G
It just gets easier with time
                      A Bm
So just wait for a sign
                       A          G
And the pain in your heart will die

But I can't lie, no
      D
It never leaves, it never leaves
      A                           Bm
Cause we're the ones they leave behind


[Verse 2]
                   A           Bm
This is a trial we all must take
                    D       G
To watch a loved one slip away
                     A       G
Into the peaceful rest of death
                  A         Bm
Where pain is lifted
                                  A
So you may ask me "Does it get easier
        Bm
 than this?"
                  A        G
And all I can say to you is

"Take no love for granted and cherish your family
 A
Cause the hands of time wait for no one
                                G
Like they didn't wait for me"


[Chorus]
 G              A Bm
Just wait for a sign
             A                    G
And the pain in your heart will die

But I can't lie, no
  D
It never leaves, it never leaves
 A                          G
It just gets easier with time
 G                 A Bm
So just wait for a sign
            A                     G
And the pain in your heart will die

But I can't lie, no
 D
It never leaves, it never leaves
   A                               G
Cause we're the ones they leave behind


[Bridge]
  D
I'm so sorry that you're
                                G
But please take my words as truth

Keep your head above the water
           A             G
And make them proud of you     D A


[Outro Chorus]
 G              A Bm
Just wait for a sign
             A                    G
And the pain in your heart will die

But I can't lie, no
  D
It never leaves, it never leaves
 A                          G
It just gets easier with time
 G                 A Bm
So just wait for a sign
            A                     G
And the pain in your heart will die

But I can't lie, no
 D
It never leaves, it never leaves
   A                               G
Cause we're the ones they leave behind
