The greatest man I never knew
Am C
Lived just down the hall
Am C
And everyday we said hello
F C F
But never touched at all

He was in his paper
Am C
I was in my room
Am F G C
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
C Am C
The greatest man I never knew

Came home late every night

He never had too much to say
F C F
Too much was on his mind

I never really knew him
F Am C
Oh and now it seems so sad
Am F G C Em
Everything he gave to us took all he had
Em F
Then the days turned into years
C G C Em
And the memories to black and white
Em F
He grew cold like an old winter wind
Am G
Blowing across my life
C Am C
The greatest words I never heard
Am C
I guess I'll never hear
Am C
The man I thought would never die

He was good in business
F C Am C
But there was business left to do
Am
He never said he loved me
F G C
Guess he thought I knew
