If You Could See Me Now

       Am                
It was February fourteen, 
 F
Valentine's Day
C                         G
 The roses came, but they took you 
away
   Am                   F      
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to 
                 C
disarm all the harm
                  G                
Gotta keep myself calm but the 
            Am
truth is you're gone
         F                         
And I'll never get to show you 
  C
these songs
     G                             
Dad, you should see the tours that 
    Am
I'm on,
          F                        C
I see you standing there next to Mom
                 G              Am
Both singing along, yeah arm in arm

                   F
And there are days when I'm losing 
my faith
    C               G
Because the man wasn't good he was 
great
      Am                 F
He'd say music was the home for your
 pain
    C               G
And explain, I was young, he would 
say
      Am                 F
"Take that rage, put it on a page
      C
Take the page to the stage
      G
Blow the roof off the place"
      Am
I'm tryna make you proud
      F
Do everything you did
      C
I hope you're up there with God
      G
Saying that's my kid


[Chorus]

Continues after the ad
        Am            F           
I still look for your face in the 
C
crowd
          G           Am
Oh if you could see me now
          Am       F              
Would you stand in disgrace or 
  C
take a bow
      G               Am
Oh if you could see me now

(Oh if you could see me now)


[Verse]

      Am                 F
If you could see me now would you 
recognize me
      C               G
Would you pat me on the back or 
would you criticize me
      Am                 F
Would you follow every line on my 
tear stained face
      C               G
Put your hand on a heart that's was 
cold as the day you were taken away
      Am                 F
I know its been awhile but I could 
you see clear as day
      C               G
Right now, I wish I could hear you 
say

      Am                 F
I drink too much and I smoke too 
much dutch
      C               G
But if you can't see me now that 
shit's a must
      Am                 F
You used to say I won't know I will 
until it cost me
      C               G
Like I wont' know real love till 
I've loved then I've lost it
      Am                 F
And if you've lost a sister, 
someone's lost a mom
      C               G
And if you've lost a dad, then 
someone's lost a son
      Am                 F
And they're all missing now, and 
they're all missing now
      C               G           
So if you get a second to look 
                     Am      F
down at me now
      C               G
Mom, Dad, I just missing you now


[Chorus]

        Am            F           
I still look for your face in the 
C
crowd
      G                Am     F   
Oh if you could see me now
C   G

Am     F      C   G
       Ooooh...    Ooooh...
F                   C
Would you call me a saint or a 
sinner?
Am                  G
Would you love me a loser or winner?
Oh.. Oh..
F                     C
When I see my face in the mirror
Am                    G
We look so alike that it makes me

        Am            F           
I still look for your face in the 
C
crowd
          G           Am     F   
Oh if you could see me now
C   G

          Am       F              
Would you stand in disgrace or 
  C
take a bow
      G               Am
Oh if you could see me now
    Am            F           C  
(Oh if you could see me now)
         G


        Am            F           
I still look for your face in the 
C
crowd
          G           Am
Oh if you could see me now
          Am       F              
Would you stand in disgrace or 
  C
take a bow
      G               Am
Oh if you could see me now
