Verse 1
[C] I knew a boy once, when I was s[Am]small
A towhead blond, with eyes of s[C]salt
He played the drum in the marching b[Am]band
[C] His parents cared more about the B[Am]Bible
Than being good to their own ch[C]child
He wore long sleeves cuz of his [Am]dad
Chorus
And s[Fmaj7]somehow we fell out of t[Am]touch
Hope he [Fmaj7]took his bad deal and made a royal f[Am]flush
Don't [Fmaj7]know if I'll see you again som[Am]someday
But if you're o[G]out there,[G6]there, [G7] I hope that you're o[C]kay
Interlude
[C] [Am]

Verse 2
[C] My middle school friend grew up a[Am]alone
She raised her brothers on her o[C]own
Her parents hated who she l[Am]loved
S[C]She couldn't wait to go to c[Am]college
She was tired cuz she was br[C]brought
Into a world where f[Am]family was merely blood
Chorus
Does she [Fmaj7]know how proud I am she was cr[Am]created
With the c[Fmaj7]courage to unlearn all of their h[Am]hatred
We [Fmaj7]don't talk much but I just gotta [Am]say
"I m[G]miss you[G6]you, [G7] and I hope that you're o[C]kay"
Bridge
Ad[C]Address the letters[Am]letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings
No[C]Nothing's forever,[Am]forever, nothing's as good as it [Fmaj7]seems
And when the clouds won't i[Am]iron out
And the monsters creep into your h[C]house
And every door is hard to cl[G]close
Chorus
Well I hope you [Fmaj7]know how proud I am you were cr[Am]created
With the c[Fmaj7]courage to unlearn all of their h[Am]hatred
God,[Fmaj7]God, I hope that you're happier t[Am]today
"Cuz I l[G]love you,[G6]you, [G7] and I hope that you're o[C]kay"
Outro
[C] [Am]
