Intro: G  C D 

verse 1 
G 
Brother, I think it's time we talked 
       C                                 D 
Why do guys like us spend most our lives playing it tough? 
        G 
Oh, and brother, I see this world's got you down 
         C 
You look like you look when you got your heart broke 
D

G 
We played ball out in the yard 
   Bm                                 C 
We raced our bikes, we wrecked our cars 
                            D 
Stayed out late in midnight bars 
    G 
Oh, we got drunk out in the fights 
     Bm                           C 
Fell for the same girl once or twice 
                         D 
And somehow made it out alive 
           Am                         D 
But in the end, always there for each other 
    G 
Oh, brother 

verse 2 
       Bm                 C                        D 
When I couldn't see, you always found a way to believe in me 
             G 
You were the quarterback when I rode the bench 

The knuckleball nobody could hit 
              C 
If you're the underdog, you're the comeback kid 
       D 
You'll find a way to get through this 

G 
We played ball out in the yard 
   Bm                                 C 
We raced our bikes, we wrecked our cars 
                            D 
Stayed out late in midnight bars 
    G 
Oh, we got drunk out in the fights 
     Bm                           C 
Fell for the same girl once or twice 
                         D 
And somehow made it out alive 
           Am                         D 
But in the end, always there for each other 
G        Bm    C     D 
Brother, oh, brother 

Bridge 
           G                C 
I hope you know I'd take a bullet 
      G                C 
Stand out on the frontline 
    Bm                       C 
Oh, life is short, don't you know it? 
         Am                      D 
But everybody needs a partner in crime 

verse 3 
    G 
You had my back when dad got sick 
    Bm                               C 
You being there's what did the trick 
                              G 
We both thought that that was it 
             G 
Oh, you were my first call that night in jail 
Bm                      C 
You rushed in to my bail 
                       G 
We sure raise a lot of hell 
        Am                              D 
I still make you swear to never tell my mother 
         Am                        D 
Oh, we'll always be there for each other 

Outro 
G        Bm     C    D 
Brother, oh, brother, yeah 
G      C   D 
Oh, brother
