Text

WhenGmwe were young we were the ones

TheEbkings and queens,

oh yeah we ruledBbthe world

We smokedGmcigarettes, man no regrets

WishEbI could relive everyBbsingle word

We've taken differentGm

paths and traveled differentEbroads

I know we'll alwaysBbend up

on the same one whenFwe're old

AndGmwhen you're in the trenches

and you'reEbunder fire

I willBbcover you

If I wasEbdying onGmmy knees

You would be theBbone toEbrescue me

And ifEbyou were drownedGmat sea

I'd give you myBblungs

so youEbcould breathe

I've got youEbbrother

I'veDmgotGmyou brother

I'veBbgotEbyou brother

I'veDmgotGmyou brother

OhGmbrother,

we go deeper than theEbink

Beneath the skin of ourBbtattoos

ThoughGmwe don't share the same blood

You're myEbbrother and I love you,

Bbthat's the truth

We're living differentGmlives,

heaven onlyEbknows

If we'll make itBbback with

all our fingers andFour toes

Gm5 years, 20 yearsEbcome back,

we'll always beBbthe same

If I wasEbdying onGmmy knees

You would be theBbone toEbrescue me

And ifEbyou were drownedGmat sea

I'd give you myBblungs

so youEbcould breathe

I've got youEbbrother

I'veDmgotGmyou brother

And if we hit on troubledEbwater

I'll be the one toGmkeep u warm &Fsafe

And we'll be carrying eachEbother

Until we sayGmgoodbye on our dyingFday

Because I've got youEbbrother

I'veDmgotGmyou brother

I'veBbgotEbyou brother

I'veDmgotGmyou brother

If I wasEbdying onGmmy knees

You would be theBbone toEbrescue me

And ifEbyou were drownedGmat sea

I'd give you myBblungs

so youEbcould breathe

Oh ohEboh, oh oh,Gmoh oh

Oh oh oh ohBboh, oh oh,Eboh oh
