[intro] x2 C Am [verse 1] C Am I knew a boy once, when I was small C a towhead blond, with eyes of salt Am He played the drum in the marching band C Am His parents cared more about the Bible C Than being good to their own child Am He wore long sleeves cuz of his dad [chorus] Fmaj7 Am And somehow we fell out of touch Fmaj7 Am Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush Fmaj7 Am Don't know if I'll see you again someday G G6 G7 But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay [interlude] x2 C Am [verse 2] C Am My middle school friend grew up alone C She raised her brothers on her own Am Her parents hated who she loved C Am She couldn't wait to go to college C She was tired cuz she was brought Am Into a world where family was merely blood [chorus] Fmaj7 Am Does she know how proud I am she was created Fmaj7 Am With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred Fmaj7 Am We don't talk much but I just gotta say G G6 G7 "I miss you, and I hope that you're okay" [bridge] C Am Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings C Am Fmaj7 Nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems Am And when the clouds won't iron out C And the monsters creep into your house G And every door is hard to close [chorus] Fmaj7 Am Well I hope you know how proud I am you were created Fmaj7 Am With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred Fmaj7 Am God, I hope that you're happier today G G6 G7 "Cuz I love you, and I hope that you're okay" [outro] x4 C Am
