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

Bm             G                 D
Your grandaddy carried me in the World War II
     A                   Bm
Your grandma swears that I'm the truth
     G                   D               A
Your parent's hands were on me when they wed
           Bm            G             D                A
I'm like a member of the family, three generations have handed me down
Em                   F#m       G                D
I'm in the drawer by your bed, I'm the book you never read
                             D                                    A
I can't take that first step for you, but when you take that step you'll find
                            Em       G                          D
You are the key and I'm the door to, forgiveness and some peace of mind...you know

Bm             G                 D
Your grandaddy carried me in the World War II
     A                   Bm
Your grandma swears that I'm the truth
     G                   D               A
Your parent's hands were on me when they wed
           Bm            G             D                A
I'm like a member of the family, three generations have handed me down
Em              F#m           G                        D
And despite all they've said, still the book you never read --
 (G)  | (Bm) (F#m) | (G)  | (D)　| (D)
                                 D                                   A
So when the world treats you un- kindly, and your heart's heavy with regret
                                  Em       F#m G
That's when I wish that you would find me, I'm the book you never read

Bm             G                 D

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