Verse:
Em C
Who can say just why all this happened
Em G D
They?d been friends almost all of their of their lives
Em C
Sharing all that they had no matter the cost
G D Em
But one chose to be selfish this time
C
You see the other contracted a sickness
Em G D
All the doctors just threw up their hands
Em C
His life was ticking away but his friend just stood by
G D Em
Like a spectator up in the stands
Em C
What was crazy was he had the answer
Em G D
To remove all his brother?s disease
Em C G
But he folded his arms and talked of old times while his best friend
D Em
died without peace
Chorus:
G C
Well he?s keeping the cure
Am Em
So afraid that a little might spill
G
Well he?s sure glad he?s got it but he?s too busy to share
C Am7
and at least he won?t die like they will
Am C Em (Repeat Verse intro)
Well he?s keeping the cure... in his pocket
Verse:
Em C
You see he?d also been sick earlier
Em G D
To the sickness he?d become a slave
Em C
But one came to his aid with solutions in hand
G D Em
He was rescued from the sting of the grave
C
In the first month he?d told all his buddies
Em G D
Of the wonderful cure he had found
Em C
But it became routine and few shared his joy
G D Em
So his excitement made less of a sound
Em C
Well he realized more people were dying
Em G D
From the plague for which he had the cure
Em C
But he wasn?t a salesman, and they?d think he?d impose
G D Em
And they?d probably seen it before
(Chorus)
