[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Ever since I was a small boy
~#**************#~
No one else compared to you, no way
~#**************#~
I always thought heroes stayed close
~#**************#~
Whenever troubled times arose
~#**************#~
I didnt know
~#**************#~
Aint always how it goes
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Every single word you told me
~#**************#~
I believed without a question, always
~#**************#~
To save all of us, you told us both to trust
~#**************#~
But now I know you only saved yourself
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Did you think Id never know?
~#**************#~
Never wise up as I grow?
~#**************#~
[Instrumental]
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
And you could store an ocean in the holes
~#**************#~
In any of the explanations that you gave
~#**************#~
And while you still had time, you had a chance
~#**************#~
But you decided to take all your sorrys to the grave
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Did you think Id never know?
~#**************#~
Never wise up as I grow?
~#**************#~
Did you hope Id never doubt?
~#**************#~
Never one day work it out?
~#**************#~
[Part II]
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
You were runnin for cover
~#**************#~
Doin like any other
~#**************#~
Fallin out with a lover
~#**************#~
You didnt know that I suffered
~#**************#~
What a thing to discover
~#**************#~
If there was time to recover
~#**************#~
One-on-one with each other
~#**************#~
Just a boy and a father
~#**************#~
What Id give for another
~#**************#~
Everything that I have
~#**************#~
Wouldnt need this for long
~#**************#~
Never speak of the time
~#**************#~
That you left us alone
~#**************#~
Me and Steve on our own
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
I wanna tell you bout the time
~#**************#~
Wanna tell you bout my life
~#**************#~
Wanna play you all my songs
~#**************#~
Learn the words, sing along
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
(This time) Wanna tell you bout the time
~#**************#~
(I know) I was in Abbey Road
~#**************#~
Or the time that I had
~#**************#~
Mick Jagger on the phone
~#**************#~
I thought of you when we spoke
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Wanna tell you bout the time
~#**************#~
Wanna tell you bout my life
~#**************#~
Wanna play you all my songs
~#**************#~
Hear your voice sing along
~#**************#~
[Verse 5]
~#**************#~
(This time) I wanna say, “Its all right”
~#**************#~
(I know) Youre just a man after all
~#**************#~
And I know you had demons
~#**************#~
I got some of my own
~#**************#~
I think you passed them along
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Wanna tell you bout the time
~#**************#~
Wanna tell you bout my life
~#**************#~
Wanna play you all my songs
~#**************#~
And hear your voice sing along
