Im Still Here

[Verse]
D
She said to me, over the phone

She wanted to see other people
I thought, "Well then, look around, 
                     A
they're everywhere"

Said that she was confused
D
I thought, "Darling, join the club"
              A
24 years old, mid-life crisis
D
Nowadays hits you when you're young
               A
I hung up, she called back, I hung 
up again
                        D
The process had already started

At least it happened quick
                            G      D
I swear, I died inside that night

My friend, he called
                   A
I didn't mention a thing
                             G 
The last thing he said was, "Be 
         D
sound"

Sound

I contemplated an awful thing, I 
hate to admit
I just thought those would be such 
A                D
appropriate last words
                   F
But I'm still here
           E  D
And small
                           F       
So small... how could this struggle
               E  D
 seem so big?

So big

While the palms in the breeze still 
blow green

And the waves in the sea still 
absolute blue

But the horror

Every single thing I see is a 
reminder of her

Never thought I'd curse the day I 
met her

And since she's gone and wouldn't 
hear
Who would care? What good would that
      A
 do?
                    D
But I'm still here
                                   A
So I imagine in a month or twelve
                                  D
I'll be somewhere having a drink

Laughing at a stupid joke
                              A
Or just another stupid thing
And I can see myself stopping short
D


Drifting out of the present
Sucked by the undertow and pulled 
          G
out deep
                          D
And there I am, standing
Wet grass and white headstones all 
         A
in rows
                               G   
And in the distance there's one, 
              D
off on its own

So I stop, kneel
             A  D
My new home

And I picture a sober awakening, a 
re-entry into this little bar scene
F                              E 
Sip my drink 'til the ice hits my
      D  F
 lip
E                    D
Order another round
