       Fm                       A#m
I was there when you needed me most
        C#                      A#m
I was there when you wanted me least
            Fm                        A#m             C#  A#m
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

Through your failures and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain

Chorus:
F#          Fm        D#
I couldn’t save your soul
   F#            Fm       D#
I couldn’t even take you home
F#          Fm        D#
I couldn’t fill that hole
 F#
Alone

I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed

There’s a thin grey line
Between the black and the white
It’s evidently hard to find at night

Chorus

G#
Now it’s too
              F#                     Fm
Too late for words that should have been said
Long ago

I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

Chorus
