[Intro]
G  C D
[Verse 1]
GBrother, I think it's time we talked
Why do Cguys like us spend most our lives Dplaying it tough?
Oh, and Gbrother, I see this world's got you down
You look Clike you look when you got your heart broke
DIn 7th grade by Katie Brown
[Chorus]
GWe played ball out in the yard
We Bmraced our bikes, we wrecked our carCs
Stayed out late in midnight Dbars
Oh, Gwe got drunk out in the fights
Fell Bmfor the same girl once or twiCce
And somehow made it out aDlive
But in the Amend, always there for each Dother
Oh, Gbrother
[Verse 2]
When I Bmcouldn't see, you aClways found a way to beliDeve in me
You were the Gquarterback when I rode the bench
The knuckleball nobody could hit
If you're the Cunderdog, you're the comeback kid
You'll Dfind a way to get through this
[Chorus]
GWe played ball out in the yard
We Bmraced our bikes, we wrecked our carCs
Stayed out late in midnight Dbars
Oh, Gwe got drunk out in the fights
Fell Bmfor the same girl once or twiCce
And somehow made it out aDlive
But in the Amend, always there for each Dother
GBrother, Bmoh, brCotherD  
[Bridge]
I hope you Gknow I'd take a bCullet
Stand Gout on the frontlCine
Oh, Bmlife is short, don't you Cknow it?
But everyAmbody needs a partner in Dcrime
[Verse 3]
You Ghad my back when dad got sick
You Bmbeing there's what did the trickC  
We both thought that that was Git
Oh, you were Gmy first call that night in jail
BmYou rushed in to pay my Cbail
We sure raise a lot of Ghell
I still Ammake you swear to never tell my Dmother
Oh, we'll Amalways be there for each Dother
[Outro]
GBrother, Bmoh, broCther, Dyeah

[Intro]

G C D

[Verse 1]

Brother, I think it's time we talked

C D

Why do guys like us spend most our lives playing it tough?

Oh, and brother, I see this world's got you down

You look like you look when you got your heart broke

In 7th grade by Katie Brown

[Chorus]

We played ball out in the yard

Bm C

We raced our bikes, we wrecked our cars

Stayed out late in midnight bars

Oh, we got drunk out in the fights

Bm C

Fell for the same girl once or twice

And somehow made it out alive

Am D

But in the end, always there for each other

Oh, brother

[Verse 2]

Bm C D

When I couldn't see, you always found a way to believe in me

You were the quarterback when I rode the bench

The knuckleball nobody could hit

If you're the underdog, you're the comeback kid

You'll find a way to get through this

[Chorus]

We played ball out in the yard

Bm C

We raced our bikes, we wrecked our cars

Stayed out late in midnight bars

Oh, we got drunk out in the fights

Bm C

Fell for the same girl once or twice

And somehow made it out alive

Am D

But in the end, always there for each other

G Bm C D

Brother, oh, brother

[Bridge]

G C

I hope you know I'd take a bullet

G C

Stand out on the frontline

Bm C

Oh, life is short, don't you know it?

Am D

But everybody needs a partner in crime

[Verse 3]

You had my back when dad got sick

Bm C

You being there's what did the trick

We both thought that that was it

Oh, you were my first call that night in jail

Bm C

You rushed in to pay my bail

We sure raise a lot of hell

Am D

I still make you swear to never tell my mother

Am D

Oh, we'll always be there for each other

[Outro]

G Bm C D

Brother, oh, brother, yeah

G C D
