Intro.:  --- | (D) / / (Bm) | (D) --- | x 2

My (D)daddy used to sing (Bm)'bout a (D)preacher man
Who (G)lost his wife, she was (D)his whole life
He kissed me then he took me in with his (Bm)old gui-(D)tar
Man, that (G)second verse, I hung on (D)every word

I (A)drift off and get lost in between (Em) the melody (G) and a dream (A)

(Chorus)
And he'd sing, (D)please (Em) come (G)back to me
We're gonna (D)build this spring and start a (A)family
(D)Please (Em) just (G)one more day, so (D)much to say, don't (A)leave this way
(Em)Lives on in my fondest memo-(Bm)ries, he'd (G) sing (A) and I'd sleep (D)

Well, I (D)grew up like a weed through my teenage years
Oh, (G)daddy tried but I'd barely even (D)say goodnight
I'm sure he thought my mind was on girls and school
But I was just (G)way to cool to say (D)I love you

But he (A)didn't know that when I close my (Em) eyes and turn (G)out the lights

(Chorus)
That I'd hear, (D)please (Em) come (G)back to me
We're gonna (D)build this spring and start a (A)family
(D)Please (Em) just (G)one more day, so (D)much to say, don't (A)leave this way
(Em)Lives on in my fondest memo-(Bm)ries, he'd (G) sing (A) and I'd sleep (D) (Em) (F#m)

And after (G)all those nights and all these years
Here we are and here he is taken (D)his last breath (Em) (F#m)
(G) And I'm man enough to cry, he's to young to say goodbye
He's (D)all but left, and man, I'm (A)scared to death

(Chorus)
(D)Please (Em) come (G)back to me, right (D)now I need you more than (A)anythin'
(D)Please (Em) (F#m) just (G)one more day, so (D)much to say, wish you (A) could stay
And he (Em)squeezed my hand and kissed me on the (Bm)cheek
And said you (G)sing (A) and I'll sleep (D)
