How Could You Leave Us Cifras

[Intro]
 
Gb                         Bbm
How could you leave so unexpected?
   Ab         Gb
We waited, we waited
    Gb                Bbm
For you, but you just left us
   Ab            Gb
We needed you, I needed you
 
 
[Verse 1]
    Gb
Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
      Bbm
But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills
     Ab
Mama told me she loved me, I'm thinkin' this isn't real
           Gb
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
Gb
Welcome to the bottom of hell
         Bbm
They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
            Ab
You say you proud of me, but you don't know me that well
          Gb
Sit in my room, tears runnin' down my face and I yell
        Gb
Into my pillowcases, say you comin' to get us
             Bbm
Then call a minute later just to tell us you're not, I'm humiliated
Ab
I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely know
     Gb
Some lady in the corner watchin' us while she's takin' notes
Gb
I don't get it, Mom, don't you want to watch your babies grow?
        Bbm
I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is "no"
Ab                                                             Gb
But you won't do it, will you? You gon' keep poppin' 'til them pills kill you
 
I know you're gone, but I can still feel you
 
 
[Chorus]
Gb                      Bbm
Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
Ab                           Gb
How could you leave us here?
Gb                                    Bbm
How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh
Ab    Gb
Hey
 
 
[Verse 2]
           Gb
I got this picture in my room and it kills me
                   Bbm
But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
      Ab
Now a relationship is somethin' we won't ever have
                 Gb
But why do I feel like I lost somethin' that I never had?
            Gb
You shoulda been there when I graduated
                         Bbm
Told me you loved me and congratulations
                                          Ab
Instead you left us at the window waitin'
 
Where you at mom?
                   Gb
We're too young to understand, where you at, huh?
                  Gb
Yeah, I know them drugs have got you held captive
                     Bbm
I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
              Ab
Some say it's fun to get the high, but I am not laughin'
             Gb
And what you don't realize and what you're not graspin'
                         Gb
That I was nothin' but a kid who couldn't understand it
                           Bbm
I ain't gon' say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn't happened
                         Ab
I thought that maybe I'd feel better as time passes
              Gb
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?
 
 
[Chorus]
Gb                      Bbm                     Ab
Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
 Gb
How could you leave us here?
Gb                                    Bbm
How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh
Ab  Gb
Hey
 
 
[Verse 3]
               Gb
Our last conversation, you and I sat in the livin' room
                 Bbm
Talkin' 'bout my music and I brought you some to listen to
            Ab
You started cryin', tellin' me this isn't you
               Gb
A couple weeks later, guess you were singin' a different tune
              Gb
You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?
                      Bbm
They took you from us once, I guess they came back to finish you
          Ab
Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
             Gb
Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you
                     Gb
It took everything inside of me, not to scream at your funeral
              Bbm
Sittin' in my chair, that person talkin' was pitiful
                Ab
I wish you were here, mama, but every time I picture you
              Gb
All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
                      Gb
They found you on the floor, I could tell you felt hollow
                       Bbm
Gave everything you had, plus your life to them pill bottles
                        Ab
You gave everything you had, plus your life to them pill bottles
                  Gb
Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you're still watchin', why?
 
 
[Chorus]
Gb                      Bbm                     Ab
Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
                       Gb
How could you leave us here?
Gb                                    Bbm
How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh
Ab  Gb
Hey
 
 
[Outro]
Gb Bbm Ab
       Sometimes I think about like...
                        Gb               Bbm
Sometimes I think about things like, you know
                              Ab Gb Gb
When I'd have kids, I'm like...
 
You won't be there, you know?
    Bbm                            Ab Gb
You won't be there for any of that
Gb                          Bbm
And I'll never get to see you again
                                 Gb
Sometimes I wish I would've just called you
                         Bbm
I wish I would have just picked up the phone
Gb
Wish you were here
Bbm
I mean you should've been there for us
Ab
You should have been here!
Gb
Them pills got you, right?!
Gb                          Ab Gb
Them pills got you, right?!
Gb
I wish you were here
