Artist: Mariah Carey
Capo: 3rd fret
[G]This is for my people who just [D]lost somebody
Your b[Em]est friend, your baby, your [C]man or your lady
[G]Put your hand way up [D]high
We will never [Cadd9]say bye[D] (no, no, no)
[G]Mamas, Daddas, sisters, brother[D]s, friends and cousins
[Em]This is for my peoples who l[C]ost their grandmothers
[G]Lift your head to the s[D]ky
'Cause we will never [Cadd9]say bye[D]
[Em]As a child, t[C]here were them times
[G]I didn't get it but you k[D]ept me in line
I didn't k[Em]now why you didn't show up some [C]times
On Sunday mornings and I [D]missed you
But I'm glad we t[D]alked through
All them g[Em]rown folk things separ[C]ation brings
You n[G]ever let me know it
You n[D]ever let it show
Because you l[Em]oved me, and obvi[C]ously
There's so much m[G]ore left to say
If you were w[D]ith me today face to f[G]ace
[CHORUS]
[G]I never knew [D]I could hurt like [Em]this
[Em]And everyday [D]life goes on
[Cadd9]I wish that I could talk to you for awhile
[Cadd9]Miss you but I try not to cry
[Em]As [C]time [D]goes by [G]
[G]And it's true that you've r[D]eached a better p[Em]lace
[Em]Still I'd give the w[D]orld to see your face
[Cadd9]And be right here next to you
[Cadd9]But it's like you're gone too soon
[Em]Now the hardest thing to do is[C] say
[D]Bye bye
[G]Bye bye bye bye bye bye [D]
[D]Bye bye bye bye bye bye [Cadd9]
[Cadd9]Bye bye bye bye bye bye [D]
[D]Bye bye
And you n[Em]ever got a chance to see how g[C]ood I've done
And you n[G]ever got to see me back at n[D]umber one
[Cadd9]I wish that you were here to celebr[G]ate together
[Cadd9]And I wish we could've spent the holid[D]ays together
I rem[Em]ember when you used to tuck me [C]in at night
With the t[G]eddy bear you gave me that I h[D]eld so tight
[Cadd9]I thought you were so strong you'd make it t[G]hrough whatever
[Cadd9]It's so hard to accept the fact you're g[D]one forever
[CHORUS]
