Brother 1:
G GM7
Brother, I can see you trying,
G GM7
battling uphill, and the hill is sliding,
CM7
I watch it steal your will away
And my heart is breaking,
G GM7
praying you live another day
Brother 2:
Brother, can you hear me crying?
and I’m so scared, I’m scared of dying,
I lie and disappoint you all but,
but I’m trying so hard and,
and I still hear that craving call…
C C/B am G C
and every time I try to reach you brother I just find more pain!
em G C am D
talking like we’re still best friends, but each word is strained
em
Is it shoulder to shoulder
D Dsus4 D
through the needles and games?
em
Is it brother for brother
D Dsus4 D
through the spoons and the flames?
F em
Down this road is the end…
Brother 1:
Brother, you know you’re my best friend
We’ve tried so many times
and here you are again!
Oh I want to just give up on you!
But I’ll stand by you, save you,
Don’t leave me standing over your grave!
And every time I try to reach you brother I just find more pain!
talking like we’re still best friends, but each word is strained.
But it’s shoulder to shoulder
through the needles and games
Yeah it’s brother for brother
through the spoons and the flames
Down this road to the end, Down this road is the end.
Brother 1 and 2:
Brother, this is the last dance.
This time that road, won’t bring you back again.
Brother 1:
Goodbye brother
Brother 2:
Goodbye friend
Brother 1 and 2:
It’s all in his hands
but we’ll be brother’s even beyond the end…
Brother 1:
Brother, can you hear me crying?
