I Was Here

G                                      Cadd9
Sometimes I get all caught up in these frustrations,
                       G              Cadd9
And all my mama?s good raising, just disappears,
         G                            Cadd9
I forget how far and dark and deep a careless word can fly
           G              Cadd9
I hurt the ones I hold so dear,
                      G                                              Cadd9
Sometimes between the ruts and the rain and the train wrecks and the pay cheques,
         G               Cadd9
I get to feeling so damn small,
             G                           Cadd9
And I forget that when it?s all said and done

I wanna be that someone,
    G                               Cadd9
Who steps up and spray paints on the wall,


      G         D            Em        Cadd9
I was here, I?m alive, I did more than survive
          G
Changed a life, Touched a heart,
       D
Look a stand, left a mark
         Em                    C
Made the most out of all of my years
          Am                              Cadd9
You won?t need to see my name carved on a head stone to know I was here

G Cadd9

                  G                           Cadd9
Between the fancy jeans the hot wings and the big screens,
                 G                                   Cadd9
You?d think that all I?d ever need was at a shopping mall
                 G                        Cadd9
But I forget the most important things in this life,
          G                           Cadd9
Hey yeah, Just might not be things at all,
             G                                     Cadd9
So I?m gunna stop to thank a few of my earth bound angels
            G             Cadd9
For picking me up off the ground,
          G
I?m gunna stop worrying bout a buck or two
    Cadd9                                       Em
And start thinkin bout what?ll fill up all them pews
    D               Cadd9
The day they lay me down

      G         D            Em        Cadd9
I was here, I?m alive, I did more than survive
          G
Changed a life, Touched a heart,
       D
Look a stand, left a mark
         Em                    C
Made the most out of all of my years
          Am                              Cadd9
You won?t need to see my name carved on a head stone to know I was here

 G          D          Em
 Nahnahnana Nahnahnana Nahnahnana

Cadd9        G         D            Em        Cadd9
Ooohhh I was here, I?m alive, I did more than survive
          G
Changed a life, Touched a heart,
        D
Look a stand, left a mark
         Em                    C
Made the most out of all of my years
          Am                              Cadd9
You won?t need to see my name carved on a head stone to know I was here
