(Intro)
G Bm C D
Bm E A D

(Verse)
G                       Bm
Life is unfair, so they tell me
  C                           G
Because they think I wouldn't know
C                         G
They only can see a cheap gimmick
         A                   D
On their children's favorite show

          Bm                    Em
They say, Oh, that's foam and a wire
  Bm                       Em
Attached to a green velvet sleeve
   C                            G
Anyone can do that well, that's true, I suppose
    A                          D
But who else could make them believe? 

(Pre-chorus)
G                      Bm
What can I say without you there to guide me?
C                         G
How else am I supposed to give?
C                      Bm
How can I sing without you there beside me?
A                         D
How else am I supposed to live?

(Chorus)
    Bm                      Em
You never could just do the expected
      C                 G 
I was just an idea in a bog
        C             D            Em           A
But you sewed up your dream and we made quite a team
A                 D           G  C  G
Jim and Kermit, a boy and his frog 

(Verse)
       Bm                        Em
It was me, Rowlf, and you, but I think that he knew
          C                        G
There was something that you and I had
    C                       G
The magic we made just kept growing
    A                   D
And none of it ever was bad

          Bm                    Em
Then came Ernie and Scooter and Gonzo
       Bm                        E
Doctor Teeth, Cookie Monster, and more
        C                       Bm
But now all of those voices are silent
      A                       D
And I want to go on, but what for? 

(Pre-chorus)
G                           Bm
No one can make me what you did
C                         G
No one could walk in your shoes
C                     G
No one can make me forget you
    A                          D
But that's not a path that I'd choose

(Chorus)
  Bm                   Em
I can't just let it be over
Bm                       Em
You wouldn't want it that way
C                         G
So I'll stand up and I'll face it
            A                             D
And, though not quite in your voice, I'll say

(Pre-Chorus)
G                    Bm
I will go on without you there to guide me
C                          G
There's so much more I can give
    C                   Bm
Wherever I am, you will be there beside me
   A                          D
As long as I keep you, you'll live

(Chorus)
        Bm                    Em
We just wanted to make people smile
      C                          G
I was always much more than your toy
       C        D            Em      A
I will never regret and I'll never forget
G
What we had
               D
I'll miss you, Dad
                  C Bm C G D G
This frog and his boy
