E   A   E   A   E   B


[Verse 1]

        E                 A       E
If I'm not here when you need me most
         A                        E   B
You're chasing this ghost-like I used to
              E                A        E
When you're scared cause it's always almost
     A                       E    B
Then I wrote it down how to go through
 A    B           C#m       G#m
Life like you're living the most
 A       B      C#m          B
Just in case I can't be as close


[Chorus]

         C#m          A           E          B
Hug your mother like she's gonna cry if you don't
          C#m          A
Love your sister and brother
       E                  B              A
Even when you think they won't love you back
           E           B             C#m
This is advice that I leave in this note
         A           E             B
This is life and we don't make it out alive
    E
So love  ----- ("love" simultaneously with "world" in next verse)


[Verse 2]

          E               A            E
When the world brings us down to our knees
    A                         E   B
And everything shattered and bleeding
             E             A            E
And they're loud although no one will speak
      A                        E   B
Cause everything broken needs healing

 A    B           C#m       G#m
Love like you're living the most
 A       B      C#m          B
Just in case I can't be as close


[Chorus]

         C#m          A           E          B
Hug your mother like she's gonna cry if you don't
          C#m          A
Love your sister and brother
       E                  B              A
Even when you think they won't love you back
           E           B            C#m
This is advice that I leave in this note
         A           E             B
This is life and we don't make it out alive


[Bridge]
    A           B
So love and be loved
            E
You should know that you're worth it
        A               B
And I know this feels close
           C#m         B
But you've never been hopeless
     A                       E
And I've never seen so much good in one person
          A     B   E
You will never be alone


[Chorus]

            C#m          A           E          B
So hug your mother like she's gonna cry if you don't
          C#m          A
Love your sister and brother
       E                  B              A
Even when you think they won't love you back
           E           B             C#m
This is advice that I leave in this note
         A           E             B
This is life and we don't make it out alive
            C#m          A           E          B
So hug your mother like she's gonna cry if you don't
          C#m          A
Love your sister and brother
       E                  B              A
Even when you think they won't love you back
           E           B             C#m
This is advice that I leave in this note
         A           E             B
