Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]How do you [G]tell a [D]child [G]tha[D]t
[C]someone has [G]died
Innocent visions of [D]youth are only a lie
I [G]tried tell and [C]lord knows I [G]tried
But any way you [D]break it
you'll just make em [G]cry

[Verse 2]
[G]
Little Tommy,
[C]I have bad news for[G] you today
The teacher you loved Mr. [D]Peterson
Has sadly passed [G]away
He was killed [C]by a motorist in
[G]a drunken act of rage
Let em live on in your heart
[D]Now we must turn [G]the page

[Verse 3]
[G]Little Suzy, [C]your father has passed [G]on
His love for you was
relentless as [D]it was strong
[G]If only he knew he'd be gone so soo[C]n
He would [G]have tried and spent more time
But he's on God's clock,
[D]not yours and min[G]e
Keep him in your [C]heart each
and every [G]day
And there he will live [D]on and never [G]fade[C]
[G]awa[D]y[G][D][G][C]
