For My Brother

(intro) Am C G

Am                   C
It would simply say everything
        G
if you would take a pen
                         Am
and write my name on a friend
 C          G
who never cared to let me in.
Am               C
    Then take a fast ravine thats for
G
three years swimming straight upstream
         Am     C                      G
and the wiiind, the wind will drag me down in the end.
Am          C
 you live inside my wall and I
G                                    Am
I reach back and hit harder than GOOOoood falls
C         G
  christ amen, amen, amen
Am              C
 you're such a line to break and I,
G                                               Am
I'm so scared to make a fucking mistake in the end...
C    G                         D              G
 but I just wanna be happy agaaaaain, agaaaaiiiinnn
          Am        C
until it all falls down
                      G
and where does that leave me?
       Am                     C                  G
with things, things, I've got so many things to say.
             Am    C            G
and with a broken heart and a straight face,
                           Am   C  G
I'm saying brother, "help meeeee"
                       Am           C      G
Brother, would you heeeeelp meeeee?

Am            C
It's just a natural phase, that I,
G                                              Am
I go through and then it's taken away and then bam!
      C                   G
bam! IIIIIII'm fixed (I'm fixed, I'm fixed, I'm fixed)
    Am                      C
but I, but I'm in another place to be, where I
G                                             Am
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so,
        C         G                                 (pause)
so daaaaaamn sick... But I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick
                 D                       G
so take this soooooong, take this song awAAaay
          Am           C
until it all faaaalls down,
                      G
and where does that leave me?
       Am                     C                  G
with things, things, I've got so many things to say.
             Am        C            G
and with a brokeeeen heart and a straight face,
                                     Am                   C
and then all he said "reach for the girl, reach for the girl
               G
and hold her close,
                  Am                     C
believe you can shine when you're silver
                    G
and I promise you gold, I promise you gold
                      Am        C
and whenever you're dark iiiiinside,
       G
dooooooooon't  leeeet go
                   Am
remember there's rain
                       C                    G
and there's candy, and christmasy winter snow, snow, snow
                 Am
and remember, I love you the same
C
and I'll strangle your pain"
     G
and he tells me to sing, so I sing, and I sing
     Am                       C (pause)
for my brother who keeps me sane,
                G
and tells me  "everything will be O.K."
