[Verse 1]
[G]Been suc[C]h a long time
[Am]sinc[D]e I held you[G]
[C]All the[F#dim] while yo[B]u used to talk to [G]me[C]
[Am]All the things you s[D]aid made me
so [G]strong[C]
You know what,
I would [F#dim]say I would keep movin' on
[B]Sometimes

[Verse 2]
[G]I sit back and think
[C]about how it was
When I [Am]was young, I used to think it was
[D]you I couldn't live without
[G]Somehow, life took a [C]sad route
Sometimes [F#dim]the wind blows bad
enough [B]to take a plane down
[G]Your straight bullets killed chi[C]ldren
on playground[Am]s
Bullshit got me [D]about to smoke

[Verse 3]
a whole pound
[G]Meanwhile, I smile, [C]hoping I can rebound
[F#dim]Somehow the LBC stree[B]ts ain't the same now,[G]
without you
Things [C]ain't been the same
since you ain't [Am]around
But I stay strong [D]game tight, hold it down
[G]Warren G, I nev[C]er played a bla[F#dim]ckground
This song is fucked up, because [B]you gone

[Verse 4]
[G]Ooh, I see[C] ya sta[Am]nding the[D]re[G]

[F#dim]ing in your [B]hair[G]
[C]How it makes [Am]me reminisc[D]e
[G]Over and[C] ove[F#dim]r, again and ag[B]ain

[Verse 6]
[G]Nothing means more [C]to me, than family
When [Am]one lost, it's sad [D]to see,
damn it's me
A [G]friend you will always [C]be
Above [Am]all things,
you [F#dim]taught me to pursue my dreams[B]
With joy it bring[G]s,
at times when I sit [C]and think
I know in[Am]side you smiled down, [D]proud at me
I [G]just need one more drink, [C]damn

[Verse 7]
At night I can't [F#dim]sleep,
I admit that its [B]hard to eat
It's all [G]good, I ain't trip[C]pin'
Tried to show me the right
laws [Am]an d [D]guidelines
But I ain't listen,
[G]I'm sitting here lavishing and liv[C]ing
And I'd [F#dim]give it all back
because you still miss[B]ing

[Verse 8]
[G]Ooh, I see[C] ya [Am]standing there[D][G]

[Verse 10]
Lord [G]please hear me, [C]ease my soul
I woke [Am]up one day and my
[D]mom was gone
I'm in the [G]zone wishing
I could [C]call your home
Sing [F#dim]your song,
tell ya that [B]I'm out on tour
All [G]alone, I just needed [C]to hear
your voice on the [Am]phone
Mother [D]and son, though I'm grown

[Verse 11]
Life [G]moves on, I need you [C]Mom,
a quiet storm
[F#dim]Differences and right and[B] wrong
As I [G]move on, since Warren [C]G ain't g[Am]one
The stitch is on, set [D]the tone,
the page I'm on
[G]Is having fun, having [C]a ball, living life
[F#dim]I'm still here,
wishing you was [B]home
[G][C][Am][D]
