[Verse 1]

Bb F/A

We were like brothers

Lives entwined

Gm/F Eb Bb/D

Kids who grew up together

Cm Eb Fsus4 F

Dreaming of the world we’d get to see one time

Bb F/A Gm

I found a girl and you bought a car

Gm/F Eb Bb/D Cm

Seemed like that summer was over in a minute

Eb Fsus4 F

Now it’s a fading wedding card

[Chorus]

Gm F/A Bb Cm Bb/D Eb

And so life goes on, when childhood’s gone

Gm F/A Bb Eb Fsus4 F

The times we’ve had, no words can say

Gm F/A Bb Cm Bb/D Eb

And all the things we do won’t fade a - way

Gm F/A Bb Eb Fsus4 F

A real friend’s like a shelter on a rainy day

[Verse 2]

Bb F/A Gm

Tear of a widow, a hermit’s plea

Gm/F Eb Bb/D

Swords of an Angel King

Cm Eb

We got to see the world in flames

Fsus4 F

before the calm

Bb F/A

Fought like an eagle

Waited for the dove

Gm/F Eb Bb/D Cm

We were the best, never knew there was a limit

Eb Fsus4 F

But now all hell has broken loose…

Need you to

Gm F/A Bb Cm Bb/D Eb

Give my son my purple heart

Gm F/A Bb Eb Fsus4 F

Brother, leave me, run, don’t close my eyes

Gm F/A Bb Cm Bb/D Eb

My last save point’s getting out of reach

Gm F/A Bb Eb Fsus4 F

My game is over, let me fade away

Gm F/A Bb

And will you tell my son

Cm Bb/D Eb

‘bout the purple heart

Gm F/A Bb Eb Fsus4 F

And what it means to have him keep it today

Gm F/A Bb Cm Bb/D Eb

And that he knows I smile in the clouds a - bove

Gm F/A Bb Eb Fsus4 F Eb

Come see me at what he calls candle lawns…
