C G C F x2
F G C Amin
F G C
This is what I played when I wrote it:

Gc

gd
to say to you
ae
before I cant
fc
anymore
(same chords again)
I love you
and thank you
so much cuz I was born
(faster and more aggressive)
I never knew
how hard it is
having kids when I was young
I gotta show my gratitude
before your life is done
(up higher cg)
you did pretty good
dg
i'm still alive
gc-fc
I made it through my childhood
(again)

(up an octave cg – ce - ae – ac)
(lower fc)
i'm gonna miss you
and i'm
(lower gd)
(up an octave cg)
i'm gonna miss you
(same chords as beginning)
What would you like from this life before you go
is there anything I can do or anything I should know?
(faster)
theres one thing i've never had the courage to just ask you
it's scary but I might never get another chance to
(prechorus 2, slow down)
are you proud of me or sad
did I do ok or bad? (long pause then chorus)
I'm gonna miss you (x2)

(Electric guitar, palm muted power chords)
C-g-c-g
I went to a cosplay con
to show off my homemade suit
when I saw there was another Gon-Gon
I fell right in love with you
f-c-f-c-f-c-em-c
and we laid in bed
and we watched star trek
and read about star wars
and we played battletech
and I held you
in your outfit
and I love you
in or out of it
c-g-c-g
we cosplayed at conventions
til we were seventy five years old
I hate that I have to mention
this year one less pass was sold
f-c-f-c-f-c-em-c
and your costume
misses you
I do too
but i'll join you
(so they tell me)
in a story
that sounds like Anne McCaffrey:
c-g
a city in the air
with a giant pearly gate
I hope I make it up there
so we can have another cosplay date
f-c-f-c-f-c-em-c
and we'll lay in bed and we'll watch star trek
and read about star wars
and we'll play battletech of course
f-c-f-c-f-c-em-c
and we'll lay in bed and we'll watch star trek
and read about star wars
and we'll play battletech
(F power chord up an octave – C power chord up an octave)
and no one will judge us x3
