[Intro]

C Am

[Verse 1]

F C G C G F

Isn't it hard to pretend that there's no feeling

F C G

When you're alone on sunny days

F C G C G F

Just give me hope there's some light inside your own engine

F C G

Some mechanism, still the same

[Pre-Chorus]

F G C G Am

Would you be sad if it was raining down

F G C G

And the only way to float was to smile

F G C G Am

Would you be mad if I hung around

F G

We talked like we used to for a while

[Chorus]

C G F

And you said how things have changed

C G F

They got rearranged

C G F G

You can't tell your left side from your right

C G F

And how I'm to blame

C G F

For your burning shame

C G F G

Just hang your head low down tonight

F G C Am

Oh, my brother, it's gonna be alright

[Bridge]

C Am

F C G C G F

If I could change to maybe save just a breath or two

F C G

Yeah, I would leave it all behind

F C G C G F

If I could see you smile on the morning day

F C G

Maybe there would still be time

[Pre-Chorus]

F G C G Am

Would you be sad if the world were round

F G C G

And the only way to live was to sail

F G C G Am

Would you be mad if I hung around

F G

We shared some of our stories or our tales

[Chorus]

C G F

And I said how things have changed

C G F

They got rearranged

C G F G

I miss you like the night time misses day

C G F

And I held you

C G F

Through the hell and cold

C G F G

I held you through the storm

[Bridge]

F G Am

Oh, my brother, there's so much more

Outside this storm

It's sometimes hell

But this means war

Don't give up now

Just past a shroud

There's a light ahead

Go through the clouds

Just show me love (x4)

Am F C G

[Chorus]

F G C G Am

Would you be mad if the world were lies

F G C G

And the only way to live was to love

F G C G Am

Would you mad if I was by your side

Dm G

And I tried, I tried to help you up

C G F

And you said "nothing's changed

C G F

I'm still the same

C G F G

I just got confused for a while

C G F

But I still care

C G F

I still wanna share

C G F G

All of our stories for a while"

Oh, my brother

G C

It's good to see you smile

[Outro]

C Am
