[Verse 1]
          Em
There’s a voicemail that I keep
                                   D
I listen to it, just to hear you speak
      G
“Hey Son..” turns to silence just like that
            Em
You know I love you walking by
                                                         D
Like you saw the phone in your hand and you didn’t know why
       G
It’s crazy how you come and go so fast
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Em               D
Oh how do I get you back
                Em                          C
If I could only seal the cracks you’re slipping through
 D             Em                                D       G
Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
G
Hold on
            D
So I keep holding on
 
[Chorus]
                  C
To every little memory made of you and me
D              Em                         D
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
G
I know you’re still in there
D                                    C      Em D
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
                 C        Em D
Between the blank stares
 
[Verse 2]
         Em
It’s the first thing that I think about
                                 D
When I wake up and when I lay down
G                                                    D
It’s the last thing I feel crawling through my mind
           Em
I’m still trying to understand it
                                   D
Sittin' next to you holding your hand
       G
And hopin' you won’t fade away this time
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      D
Just stay a little while
         Em              D Em C
Please stay a little while
 
If I can only seal the cracks you’re slipping through
D              Em                                D
Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
G
Hold on
            D
So I keep holding on
 
[Chorus]
     Em           C
To every little memory made of you and me
 D             Em                         D
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
G
I know you’re still in there
Em                  D                C     Em D
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
            Em
Between the blank stares
               C
It’s getting harder and harder
     Em              D
To watch you disappear
             C       Em             D
Oh if only farther leaving me in tears
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 C
If I could only seal the cracks you’re slipping through
D              Em                                D       G
Wish I didn’t feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
 
Hold on
            D
So I keep holding on
 
[Chorus]
               C
Every little memory made of you and me
D               Em                         D
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
G
I know you’re still in there
Em                  D                C      Em D
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
                C     Em D
Yeah, I still see you
                 C       Em D
Between the blank stares
 
[Outro]
                 C       Em D
Between the blank stares
