Brothers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]house was like a tomb
I was hiding in my room
As my [G]brother made his way
on down [D]the hall
I didn't want to say goodbye
And I was trying to deny
there was [G]a war
And that he got the [D]call

[Verse 2]
I [Bm]watched him from my window
[A]Walking [G]down the drive
Then [D]I ran down the stairway
Through the front [A]door and I cried

[Verse 3]
[D]You come back you hear?
And I [G]let him see my tears
I said, [D]"I'll give you my
rookie [A]of DiMaggio
I'll do [D]anything you want
Clean [G]your room, or wash your car
I'll do [D]anything so [A]long
as you don't [G]go"
But [D]he said, "This is what
[A]brothers are [D]for"

[Verse 4]
[D]Well I have my heroes
But the one I love the most
[G]Taught me how to hunt and swing [D]a bat
And I wrote him every night
I said, I miss our pillow fights
But [G]lately I just wonder where
[D]you're [Bm]at
Sometimes freedom [A]makes it hard

[Verse 5]
[G]
to live
When [D]it takes things from you
that you don't [A]want to give
I said, "Y[D]ou come back you hear?
I [G]miss you being near
[D]We'll laugh and fish down
in the maple [A]grove"

[Verse 6]
I'll do [D]anything you want
There must [G]be someone I can call
And just [D]maybe they [A]would let
you come back [G]home
But [D]he wrote, this is what [A]brothers are [D]for

[Verse 7]
[A]I may never have to face the
[G]an ger of those gun[D]s
[A]Or lie cold [G]and wounded [D]in my blood
[A]Or know the sacrifice and
[G]what it must [D]of cost
[Em]For him to love me t[Bm]hat much
[A]

[Verse 8]
Well, [D]it had been two years
And I held back my tears
When I [G]saw him in that wheel
chair [A]on [D]the shore

[Verse 9]
And as [D]I ran and held him tight
That's when he looked me in the eye
And said, "I'm [Bm]sorry that [A]you have
to push me [G]home"
And I said, [D]"Hey, this is what [A]brothers [D]are for"
