Want You To Live Tab

by George Canyon


This is all that i've figured out of the piano intro
if you play along with the song you should get the
general idea of it.

When she got the news the phone hit the floor
                                   
She fell to her knees and cried his name
                                           
He had just kissed her lips and both of the kids
                              
Their lives will never be the same
                
At the end of her hardest day
                       
The only words she could say were


Chorus
                             
I want you to live, I want you to love
                              
I wanna go back to the way it was
                   
To hear you say my name again
                              
I wanna see your smile again
                        
I want you to live


                                      
Takes all her strength to go through his things
                               
It feels like she's holdin him again
                                         
The letters he wrote, the books that he'd read
                                      
And some of the shirts still have his scent
                 
The picture in Florida
                                   
She holds to her heart and cries out loud


Chorus
                              
I want you to live, I want you to love
                              
I wanna go back to the way it was
                   
To hear you say my name again
                              
I wanna see your smile again


Bridge
                                    
Lying awake in the middle of the night
                      
Trying not to let the kids hear her cry
                                       
She prays for answers or some little sign
             
She closes her eyes
          
And swears she
              
Hears him say


Chorus
                               
I want you to live, I want you to love
                                
I want you to go on and not give up
                                  
I want you to live, I want you to try
                             
I want you to know that I'm alright
                        
I want you to fall in love again
                            
I wanna see smile again and again
                        
I want you to live
