Tom: G
G
I met superman with you
Charlie Brown and Jesus too
On those nights I couldn't sleep
You were always there with me
             C                 D      Em
When I was young and faint of heart
                 Am            C
You'd tell me stories in the dark
G
And when I felt I couldn't fly
You and peter took me on a ride
You said "son don't be afraid to die."
we had an awfully great adventure
        C              D       Em
Now so much of who we are
              Am            C
Is in those stories in the dark
Chorus
        C                    G
What we learned when we were young
           Am
Sets the table for our lives
         C                    G
Bread we break it fills our hearts
            Am
It feeds our loss
    C Em  Am            C                     
And even though you're not here anymore
           G
I hear your voice
Verse 2
G
Cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Used to make me cry guess I still do
I didn't want that for me and you
You know we'll be together soon
             C               D     Em
'Cuz when I wonder where you are
               Am            C
I hear those stories in the dark
G
I know someday i'll tell my own
And then someday when you've moved on
I'll tell him son don't be afraid to die
We had an awfully great adventure
         C                   D     Em
Now I know right where you are
              Am             C
You're in my stories in the dark
Chorus
        C                    G
What we learned when we were young
          Am
Sets the table for our lives
          C                  G
Bread we break it fills our hearts
            Am
It feeds our loss
    C Em  Am           C
And even though you're not here anymore
           G
I hear your voice
Bridge
         Em
I see you there
      C            G
In the corner of my mind
        Em
I see you there
       C            G
But you stay a step behind
    C Em  Am            C
And even though you're not here anymore
           G
I hear your voice
