I Want You To Live

Em - G - D - C

[Verse]
Em               G                       D
When she got the news the phone hit the floor
                 C                  Em
She fell to her knees and cried his name
                       G                    D
He had just kissed her lips and both of the kids
                   C           Em
Their lives will never be the same
                C
At the end of her hardest day
Em              C         D
The only words she could say were

[Chorus]
G               D/F              Em
I want you to live, I want you to love
           D                   C
I wanna go back to the way it was
                   Em
To hear you say my name again
                   D           C
I wanna see your smile again
          Em       G    D   C
I want you to live

[Verse]
Em             G                         D
Takes all her strength to go through his things
               C                Em
It feels like she's holdin him again
                G                         D
The letters he wrote, the books that he'd read
                   C                   Em
And some of the shirts still have his scent
                 C
The picture in Florida
Em                C        D           G
She holds to her heart and cries out loud

[Chorus]
                D/F              Em
I want you to live, I want you to love
           D                   C
I wanna go back to the way it was
                   Em
To hear you say my name again
                   D           C
I wanna see your smile again

[Bridge]
Em                                    G/F
Lying awake in the middle of the night
G                      C
Trying not to let the kids hear her cry
Em                                       G/F
She prays for answers or some little sign
G             C
She closes her eyes
     Bm     C
And swears she
D              G
Hears him say

[Chorus/Outro]
               D/F                Em
I want you to live, I want you to love
               D                 C
I want you to go on and not give up
               D                   Em
I want you to live, I want you to try
               D            D/B  C
I want you to know that I'm alright
                        Em
I want you to fall in love again
             D               C
I wanna see smile again and again
          Em       G   D   C
I want you to live
