[Intro]
F Am Em F

                          F                       Am
How could you leave so unexpected?
      Em              F
We waited, we waited
      F                         Am
For you, but you just left us
      Em                 F
We needed you, I needed you

[Verse 1]
      F
Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
      Am
But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills
                 Em
Mama told me she loved me, I'm thinkin' this isn't real
               F
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
F
Welcome to the bottom of hell
         Am
They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
                   Em
You say you proud of me, but you don't know me that well
                         F
Sit in my room, tears running down my face and I yell
             F
Into my pillowcases, you say you coming to get us
         Am
Then call 'em a minute later just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated
Em
I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely know
F
Some lady in the corner watching us while she's taking notes
F
I don't get it mom, don't you want to watch your babies grow?
Am
I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is "no"
Em                                                                                            F
But you won't do it, will you? You gon' keep popping, 'til those pills kill you

I know you're gone, but I can still feel you

[Chorus]
F                                        Am                                                 Em
   Why would you leave us?      Why would you leave us here?
                                     F
How could you leave us here?
F                                                                Am                 Em
   How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh
  F
Hey

[Verse 2]
               F
I got this picture in my room and it kills me
      Am
But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
           Em                                                                                    F
Now a relationship is something we won't ever have, but why do I feel like I lost something that I never

had?
                           F
You should have been there when I graduated
                                          Am                                                                                   Em
Told me you loved me and congratulations, instead you left us at the window waitin'

Where you at mom?
                                              F
We're too young to understand, where you at, huh?
                              F
Yeah, I know them drugs have got you held captive
                              Am
I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
                                     Em
Some say it's fun to get the high, but I am not laughin'
                                     F
And what you don't realize and what you not graspin'
                                       F
That I was nothing but a kid, who couldn't understand it
                                Am
I ain't gon' say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn't happened
                                      Em
I thought that maybe I'd feel better as time passes
                   F
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?

[Chorus]
F                                        Am                                                 Em
   Why would you leave us?      Why would you leave us here?
                                     F
How could you leave us here?
F                                                                Am                    Em
   How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh
  F
Hey

[Verse 3]
              F
Our last conversation, you and I sat in the living room
                    Am
Talkin' 'bout my music and I brought you some to listen to
                   Em
You started cryin', telling me "this isn't you"
                         F
A couple weeks later, guess you were singin' a different tune
                        F
You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?
                                    Am
They took you from us once, I guess they came back to finish you
                Em
Cryin' my eyes out in the studio is difficult
                    F
Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you
                            F
It took everything inside of me, not to scream at your funeral
                   Am
Sittin' in my chair, that person talkin' was pitiful
                         Em
I wish you were here, mama, but every time I picture you
                 F
All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
                                    F
They found you on the floor, I could tell you felt hollow
                                Am
Gave everything you had, plus your life to them pill bottles
                                       Em
You gave everything you had, plus your life to them pill bottles
                              F
Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you're still watching, why?

[Chorus]
F                                        Am                                                Em
   Why would you leave us?       Why would you leave us here?
                                     F
How could you leave us here?
F                                                                Am                 Em
   How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh
F
Hey

[Outro]
F Am Em
                                          F
Sometimes I think about like
                             F                                      Am
Sometimes I think about things like, you know
                                    Em         F         F
When I'd have kids, I'm like

You won't be there, you know?
Am                                                    Em        F        F
You won't be there for any of that
                              Am                     Em
And I'll never get to see you again
                                                   F
Sometimes I wish I would've just called you
                                                                      F
I wish I would have just picked up the phone
                                 Am
Wish you were here
                                                              Em
I mean you should of been there for us
                                             F
You should have been here!
                                           F
Them pills got you, right?
          Am                              Em F
Them pills got you, right?

I wish you were here
