An eight year old girl had a panic attack
          C                         F            G
Cause the father she loved left and never looked back
   F                   G       Am   C/E
No longer the hero she counted on
   F                         G            C
He told her he loved her and then he was gone


    C                      F               C
She tried to look happy in front of her friends
    C                          F       G
But knew that she'd never feel normal again
    F                             G          Am    C/E
She fought back the tears as they filled her eyes
    F                       G            C
She wanted him back just to tell him goodbye


          F           Am   
When the rain falls down
         F          G
When it all turns around
          F          Am                
When the light goes out
               G
This isn't the end


    D                       G         D
Her dad was a good guy that everyone liked
    D                  G       A
But nobody knew he was dying inside
   G                        A    Bm     D/F#
He promised his family he'd be alright
    G                      A           D
And then with a gunshot he left them behind


          G           Bm   
When the rain falls down
         G          A
When it all turns around
          G          Bm        (x2)        
When the light goes out
               A
This isn't the end (no oh)


    E                   A       E
The role of a father he never deserved
    E                         A       B
He abandoned his daughter and never returned
    A                         B        C#m     E/G#
And over the years though the pain was real
    A                       B          C#m   B
She finally forgave him and started to heal


    E                         A       E
How close is the ending? Well nobody knows
    E                      A        B
The future's a mystery and anything goes
A                     B       C#m    E/G#
Love is confusing and life is hard
    A                       B                C#m   E/G#   
You fight to survive 'cause you made it this far
     A                     B      C#m    E/G#
It's all too astounding to comprehend
     A                        B          C#m    E/G#
It's just the beginning, this isn't the end
     A                        B          E
It's just the beginning, this isn't the end
