Song For Kelly chords by The High Kings

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: G

Intro:

G

Verse 1:
G
Seventeen stuffed teddy bears
  Em
Lay on a cold gravestone
C                  G
One for every year that you've been gone
Am               Em
Just to say I love you and I'm thinking of you still
C       Dsus4
 And I always will

Break:
D

Verse 2:
G
Seventeen red roses
    Em
Placed in a heart shaped face
C                  G
Tattered, torn, and broken just like mine
Am                Em
Even though the tears are flowing gently down my face
C      Dsus4
I'll be just fine

Break:
D

Chorus:

C
I wish I could've known you even for a little while
G
But that's not the way the world had planned
B7                Em
I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile
A7                D
One day that might help me understand
  G   C
Why unlike sand
 Am        D          G
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand

Verse 3:
G
Seventeen bright candles
Em
Left lighting in your name
C             G
All beside each other in a row
Am           Em
Broken hearted memories flicker in each flame
C            Dsus4
  And through the afterglow

Break:
D

Chorus:

C
I wish I could've known you even for a little while
G
But that's not the way the world had planned
B7                Em
I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile
A7               D
One day that might help me understand
  G   C
Why unlike sand
 Am        D          G
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand

Gadd9, F# walkdown

Em             C
Now it's time for me to say goodbye
G                    D
I'm sorry that my tears dropped on your stone
Em               C
Seventeen times I tried not to cry
Am              Dsus4
But I hate to leave you here alone

Break:
D

C
I wish I could've held you even for a little while
G
But that's not the way the world had planned
B7                Em
I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile
A7               D
One day that might help me understand
   G   C
Why unlike sand
 Am        D          Em  A
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand
      Am
Why unlike sand
D                   G
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand
