I remember the day you discovered your shadow
         Eb          Ab
You were in the back garden by the apple tree

Cm Eb Ab Cm Bb Ab

Cm                   Bb          Ab
What's your favorite color, what songs do you like?
Cm   Eb        Bb         Ab
What makes you angry, and what makes you cry?

[Chorus]

                     Cm
You know that I mean well
    Bb            Ab                       Eb
But I missed your call and I forgot to return it
                      Ab                       Cm
You gave me your love, even though I've not earned it
                         Bb                Ab
Because you're good to me and I deserve to see
                                Cm
How it makes you feel when I always leave
  Eb             Ab
I hope that you miss me
                     Cm
There will be time someday

[Bridge]

Cm                 Eb
Apologize, I'll compromise
         Bb
Avoid my eyes
              Ab             Cm
I'd rather go back into your shade
    Eb             Bb
But I'll miss your progress
         Ab          Cm
From the mess that I made


[Outro]
     Eb                   Ab            Cm
Tell mum I'm alright, and tell dad I'm okay
    Bb                                   Cm
Did you get the last card I sent on your birthday?
  B         Bb
I wish that we were closer
  Ab                Cm                  Eb
I wish that you had known me when I was younger
         Bb                Ab
And understood the choices that I've made
