    C#maj7
This one’s for my best friend
   Fm
We never spoke a word
        D#m
But the way he looked into my eyes
   G#
I knew he understood
C#maj7
Grabbing on so tight
      Fm
Like nothing matters more
     D#m
My handsome little scaly guy
    G#
My pretty baby boy

Chorus:
F#                         D#m    G#
And I don’t wanna have to miss you
                       Fm      A#m
I don’t wanna have to say goodbye
                        D#m
I don’t wanna have to leave you
G#                      Fm A#m
To the big bowl in the sky
    D#m                 G#
So lucky that you were mine
             Fm               A#m
Put your PJs on for one last time
                     D#m      G#
And I’m really gonna miss you
                 C#
Rest easy little guy

Rushin' home from school
Couldn't stand to be alone
But this year I had someone there
With you I had a home
If I'm friends with everyone
Or have nobody at all
You helped me see that either way
There's a place where I belong

Chorus:
And I don't wanna have to miss you
I don't wanna have to say goodbye
I don't wanna have to leave you
To the big bowl in the sky
Though it's crushin' down on me
We both know it's what you need
But I'm really gonna miss you
So rest easy, buddy
Yeah, I'm really gonna miss you
Rest easy for me
