Brother Of My Heart

[Intro]  A  E

          A
She knows I’m not that brave
And cry when Frodo leaves
          E
She's why I got this flat
               A           C#m    A
That’s way too big for the two of us
         A
However, now she’s gone
                 E
But you smile at everything
                 F#m      C#m   A
You’ve seen them come and go before

               A
It’s quiet for awhile
You light a cigarette
   E
Even from afar
            F#m               C#m      A
You know my thoughts by their silhouettes
            A
So we don’t have to talk
          E
For now a beer’s enough
            F#m       C#m   A
To make the rain seem far away
    B
The brother of my heart
         A      C#m
Lives in you, I know
                E           F#m
As long as they beat I will always have a
A
Safe retreat
       B
‘Cause brotherhood’s an art
       A             C#m
And we paint when we fall
            E                 A
And on this canvas colors are painted on
     B
Once and for all
             A
You say I’ve put on weight
I say you’ve lost some hair
               E
Since nineteen-ninty-eight
                  F#m           C#m     A
When we dreamt of france in the summer air
             A
Suddenly I’m back to when
            E
I smiled at everything
           F#m          C#m       A
And got my first can of paint and learned
    B
The brother of my heart
         A      C#m
Lives in you, I know
                E           F#m
As long as they beat I will always have a
A
Safe retreat
       B
‘Cause brotherhood’s an art
       A             C#m
And we paint when we fall
            E                 A
And on this canvas colors are painted on
     B
Once and for all

I build these castles made of sand
                                         C#m
Again and again and think that they will do
But start anew
     A
With less sand than I had before
                                    C#m
And one more time I loose it to the shore
It’s a state of war
