The Abandoned

	  		
Verse 1 
 

Abm 
Staring at the wall, 

I never thought this would be so hard. 

How could have I been so close and never known you? 

I never knew, I never knew you at all! 

You will always be my father but I hope you know, 

It's your fault and I'll never know what that means. 

You left a void that never could be replaced. 

I am dying inside but you will never see! 

Pre-Chorus 
 

Abm  C#m  E          F# 
    I     always had hoped that you 
Abm  C#m     E          F#     
     Did not want it this way, 
Abm         C#m        E      F#       
     But no matter how hard I try you always 
Abm        C#m 
Pushed me away. 
Eb 
   You said you loved me but... 

 

Abm     F#            E 
How was I supposed to know? (How was I supposed to know) 
     Abm    
When you left me here, 
F#                E 
You left me here alone? 
C#m           B               F# 
    Do I ever even cross your mind, 
Abm 
Just for second? 
C#m        B         Eb 
    Do you know I'm alive? 


Verse 2 

Abm 
You know I would let you in but you threw everything away. 

So tell me what did you get from all of these years of pain? 

You have no clue what I've been through,  

But I guess that you wanted it that way! 


(Chorus) 


Breakdown 


Abm                  E                         Absus4 
If you would've been there, (If you would have been there) 
Abm                   E                          Absus4 
If you would've stuck around, (If you would have stuck around) 
Abm 
If you would've been there when I needed you, 

You would've been 
Abm 
You would've been so proud! 


(Chorus)
