F                  C                G         Am
we were tight knit boys brothers in more than name
          F        C                    G      C
you would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same
       F      C                   G    Am
and it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away
               F      C
but everything goes away
                G      C
yeah everything goes away
              F               C
but I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
                 G
but bones in the ground

      Am             C
I was there when you restless
F           C       G
left in the dead of night
      Am                          C
I was there when three months later
         F                                   G
you were standing in the door all beaten and tired

and I stepped aside


F C G Am
Oh...
F C G C
Oh...
F C G Am
Oh...

           F     C
everything goes away
                G     C
yeah everything goes away
              F               C
but I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
                 G
but bones in the ground

so quiet down


C G Am Em F C G

        C
we were opposites at birth
      G
I was steady as a hammer
       Am                                     Em
no one worried cause they knew just where I'd be
         F
and they said you were the crooked kind
               C
that you would never have no words
                    G
but you were always gold to me
C
back when we were kids
   G
we swore we knew the future
            Am                                    Em
and how our words would take us halfway round the world
      F
but I never left this town
        C
and you never saw New York
                 G
and we ain't ever crossed the sea
         Am                C
but I am fine with where I am now
     F                C          G
this home is home and all that I need
        Am                C
but for you this place is shame
        F                                    G
you can blame me when there's no one left to blame

oh I don't mind


Am C F C G Am C F G (x2)

     F      C                     G            Am
well all my life I've never known where you've been
           F        C
there were holes in you
                G         C
the kind that I could not mend
      F         C
and I heard you say
               G         Am
right when you left that day
                F    C
does everything go away
                G     C
yeah everything goes away
              F           C
but I'm gonna be here 'til forever
        Am               G
so just call when you're around
