The house was like a tomb
E
I was hiding in my room
A E
As my brother made his way on down the hall
E
I didn't want to say goodbye
E A
And I was trying to deny there was a war
E
And that he got the call
C#m
I watched him from my window
B A
Walking down the drive
E
Then I ran down the stairway
B4 B
Throught the front door and I cried
E
You come back you hear?
A
And I let him see my tears
E B
I said, "I'll give you my rookie of DiMaggio
E
I'll do anything you want
A
Clean your room, or wash your car
E B A
I'll do anything so long as you don't go"
E B E
But he said, "This is what brothers are for"
E
Well I have my heroes
E
But the one I love the most
A E
Taught me how to hunt and swing a bat
E
And I wrote him every night
E
I said, I miss our pillow fights
A E
But lately I just wonder where you're at
C#m B A
Sometimes freedom makes it hard to live
E B
When it takes things from you that you don't want to give
E
I said, "You come back you hear?
A
I miss you being near
E B
To laugh and fish down in the maple grove
E
I'll do anything you want
A
There must be someone I can call
E B A
And just maybe they would let you come back home"
E B E
But he wrote, this is what brothers are for.
B A E
I may never have to face the anger of those guns
B A E
Or lie cold and wounded in my blood
B A E
Or know the sacrifice and what it must have cost
F#m C#m B
For him to love me that much
E
Well, it had been two years
E
And I held back my tears
A E
When I saw him in that wheel chair on the shore
E
And as I ran and held him tight
E
That's when he looked me in the eye
C#m B A
And said, "I'm sorry that you have to push me home"
E B E
And I said, "Hey, this is what brothers are for"
