Beat You There

Intro

D  A  Bm  G
             D        A                         Bm        G
I don't know why God always takes the good ones first
             D           A                         Bm        G
And man I've tried to be strong and carry on, but damn this hurts
             A                           Bm
And I just wish that I could talk to you again, somehow, some way
         A                      G
Even if it's for a moment, so I can hear you say
       D          A
Don't cry for me, I'm alright
           Bm             G
Yeah, I'm better than you know
         D             A
And this life can be a shorter ride
        Bm             G
So don't waste it on sorrow
          A
And just hold on to those moments
          Bm
And the memories we shared
           A                          G
We're both headed for the same place anyway
                      D   A   Bm   G
I just beat you there
             D              A                           Bm    G
I know they say: Just give it a little time, you'll be okay
              D                     A             Bm    G
That might bе true, it don't really help mе today
        A                          Bm
And we ain't supposed to question the man upstairs
                     A
'Cause there's just so much I don't understand
    G                A
It just don't seem fair
 D          A
Don't cry for me, I'm alright
           Bm             G
Yeah, I'm better than you know
         D             A
And this life can be a shorter ride
        Bm             G
So don't waste it on sorrow
          A
And just hold on to those moments
          Bm
And the memories we shared
           A                          G
We're both headed for the same place anyway
                      D
I just beat you there
             A
And as each day goes by
                        Bm
I get a little bit stronger
                A
But that don't stop me from wishing you
      G                  A    D
Were here a little bit longer
  A   Bm  G   D
Whoa, oh, oh
  A   Bm  G   D
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
           D                  A
And so I'm gonna smile when I think of you
         Bm               G
Like I know you'd want me to
      D                    A
And I know you're watching over me
    Bm         G
In everything I do
              A
And all those things I never got to say
           Bm
Well I'll send 'em with this prayer
           A                            G
Then look up, wipe my tears and raise my beer
Mm, mm
                     D
And I'll see you there
A           Bm       G
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                     D
And I'll see you there
A           Bm       G    D
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
