Intro: [C] [Dm] [Am] [F]
Verse
[C]We built our home out on the [Dm]slopes,
Pompeii beneath she lay [Am]above,
How she haunted our [F]home,
How she haunted our [C]home.
You were a God in my [Dm]eyes,
Above the clouds above the [Am]skies,
You were a God in my [F]eyes,
You were a God. [C]

Verse
[C]You took me walking through the [Dm]town
Showed me the statues [Am]underground,
Said, "just don't they look at [F]peace,"
Sometimes I wish that was [C]me.
I was the son you always [Dm]had,
Tugging at your coat while you were [Am]sad,
I was the son you always [F]had,
I was the son you always [C]had.

Chorus
Just [C]don't cry,
Hold your [Dm]head up high,
She would [Am]want you to,
She would [F]want you to.
Please just [C]don't cry,
Hold your [Dm]head up high,
She would [Am]want you to,
She would [F]want you to.

Verse
[C]You said stay in the car and [Dm]wait,
There's just some things I have to [Am]say,
Don't you know I miss her [F]too,
I miss her just as much as [C]you.
So my father and my [Dm]son,
As you end what you've [Am]begun,
You'll lie patient by her [F]side,
With roses red and lilies [C]white.

Bridge
[C]I was too young to [Dm]understand,
The flowers slipping from your [Am]hand,
I was too young to [F]understand,
I was too young to [C]understand.
I was too young to [Dm]understand,
The flowers slipping from your [Am]hand,
I was too young to [F]understand,
I was too young to [C]understand.

Hold your [Dm]head up high,

And just [C]don't cry,
Hold your [Dm]head up high,
She would [Am]want you to,
She would [F]want you to.
