[Verse] (pick these chords in the same pattern as the intro)
C           Dm
Pictures of you and me
Am
Posters of family
C        Dm         Am
Cover my bedroom walls
C                 Dm
The solitude, for when alone
Am
Mementos that once were known
C     Dm      Am
Line my memories

[Chorus] (Strum)
Am                   E
But here comes the voice
F                C
That makes us rejoice
E             F      C     Em
A gap in the family tree
Am             E
To release the soul
F              C
Of one of your own
Em              F     C  Em
A death in the family

[Verse] (Pick)
C              Dm
One look tells the story
Am
The end of you and me
C                  Dm     Am
He must have loved his mother
C             Dm
Already cold to the touch
Am
I loved you far too much
C            Dm          Am
It's a cruel world out there

[Chorus] (Strum)
Am                 Em
But here comes the voice
F              C
That makes us rejoice
E            F       C    Em
A gap in the family tree
Am               E
To release the soul
F              C
Of one of your own
E               F    C  Em
A death in the family
Am             E
But here comes the voice
F              C
That makes us rejoice
E             F     C   Em
A gap in the family tree
Am               E
To release the soul
F              C
Of one of your own
E              F      C  E
A death in the family
