Dean Brody - Brothers

The ^Chouse was like a tomb. I was ^Chiding in my room. As my ^Fbrother made his way on ^Cdown the hall. I didn't ^Cwant to say goodbye. And I wa^Cs trying to deny there was a^F war, And that he got th^Ce call. I ^Amwatched him from my window Walking ^Fdown the drive. Then I ^Cran down the stairway Through th^Ge front door and I cried

^CYou come back you hear? And I ^Flet him see my tears I said ^CI'll give you my rookie of ^GDiMaggio. I'll do ^Canything you want, Clean your ^Froom, or wash your car. I'll do ^Canything so ^Gsus4long as you don't^F go. But he said,^C this is what ^Gsus4brothers are^C for.

Well ^CI have my heroes, But the ^Cone I love the most ^FTaught me how to hunt and s^Cwing a bat. And I ^Cwrote him every night, I said I ^Cmiss our pillow fights, But ^Flately I just wonder where you^C're at. ^AmSometimes freedom makes it^F hard to live. When ^Cit takes things from you that you don't ^Gwant to give.

I said ^Cyou come back you hear? I ^Fmiss you being near. ^CLaugh and fish down in the maple g^Grove I'll do ^Canything you want. There must be ^Fsomeone I can call, And just ^Cmaybe they would ^Gsus4let you come back^F home. But he wrote,^C this is what ^Gsus4brothers are^C for.

^GI may never have to face the^F anger of those^C guns, ^GOr lie cold and ^Fwounded in my ^Cblood, ^GOr know the s^Facrifice and w^Chat it must of cost ^AmFor him to ^Flove me that^G much.

^CWell, it had been two years, And I ^Cheld back my tears When I ^Fsaw him in that wheel cha^Cir on the shore. And as I ^Cran and held him tight, That's when he ^Clooked me in the eye And said I'm ^Amsorry that you ^Gsus4have to push me ^Fhome. And I said he^Cy, this ^Gsus4is what brot^Chers are for.
