G A C G
I will never remember the first day we met
G A C G
I woke up so early and took my first breath
Em B G A
The frost on the window pane, fractured the light
G A C G
You were so happy to meet us, we two in one life
G A C G
The time that you gave me, beyond words on a line
G A C G
We walked out in harmony, not a step out of time
Em B G A
I grew like the strongest oak, then the whole forest fell
G A C G
The days became so distant, you didn't know me so well
Bb F/A Ab C
I've heard this song before, did I create these lines?
Bb F/A
The story's been told, so many ways, so many times
G
Is this yours, is it mine?
G A C G
Back in the penniless pathway we were incredibly rich
G A C G
You guarded us so closely from any bitterness kick
Em B G A
You didn't tell me one day you'd go, like a lion I cried
G A C G
I am alone in the open, just a shell from the tide
Bb F/A Ab C
That little town of ours was all the universe
Bb F/A
You held my hand and guided me through
G
So I'd never be the little boy lost
G A C G
There's a space in a green field where a tree will be set
G A C G
It's for the ones who love you to show where you rest
Em B G A
As every branch reaches for the sun, we will hold you again
G A C G
For you are my brother, my brother my friend
