CWe both Amsat, on our bEmeds, in my rGoom.

But i'll love your Ftroubles and i'm Cgone,

Capo on 5th

[Verse 1]

C Am Em G

We both sat, on our beds, in my room.

C Am Em G

And we talked about what was coming soon.

C Am Em G

All the (pink powder) wont cover up what we did.

C Am Em G

Doing wrong when, we were just kids.

[Chorus]

F C

And I think that you're the older brother,

Am G

that I never had.

F C

I wish I could reach out and touch you.

Am G

Dont worry, i'm not sad.

F C

I know you're just where you want to be,

Am G

and everyone's a hundred grand.

F C

Say you wont stay for me,

Am G

say hello to your dad.

[Verse 2]

C Am Em G

I will look after your sister I swear.

C Am Em G

I'll write her when she's lonely, and send it off in the air.

C Am Em G

I will keep her safe, until i'm dead.

C Am Em G

She'll always have a place to rest her head.

[Chorus 2]

F C

You dont have to worry about it now,

Am G

you dont have to live with that frown.

F C

I will hold your memory close to my chest,

Am G

though I wish you hadn't said it was best.

F C

Could you have stayed just one more night,

Am G

for all of us to say good bye.

F C

But i'll love your troubles and i'm gone,

Am G

you still feel so damn warm.

C Am Em G
