Brothers

The [D]house was like a tomb.
I was [D]hiding in my room.
As my [G]brother made his way on down t[D]he hall.
I didn't [D]want to say goodbye.
And I was[D] trying to deny there was a war,  [G]
And that he got the[D] call.
I [Bm]watched him from my window
Walking [G]down the drive.
Then I [D]ran down the stairway
Through the[A] front door and I cried

[D]You come back you hear?
And I [G]let him see my tears
I said [D]I'll give you my rookie of D[A]iMaggio.
I'll do [D]anything you want,
Clean your [G]room, or wash your car.
I'll do [D]anything so [Asus4]long as you don't[G] go.
But he said,[D] this is what [Asus4]brothers are[D] for.

Well [D]I have my heroes,
But the [D]one I love the most
[G]Taught me how to hunt and swing a[D] bat.
And I [D]wrote him every night,
I said I [D]miss our pillow fights,
But [G]lately I just wonder where you[D]'re at.
[Bm]Sometimes freedom makes it[G] hard to live.
When [D]it takes things from you that you don't [A]want to give.

I said [D]you come back you hear?
I [G]miss you being near.
[D]Laugh and fish down in the maple g[A]rove
I'll do [D]anything you want.
There must be [G]someone I can call,
And just [D]maybe they would [Asus4]let you come back[G] home.
But he wrote,[D] this is what [Asus4]brothers are[D] for.

[A]I may never have to face the[G] anger of those[D] guns,
[A]Or lie cold and [G]wounded in my [D]blood,
[A]Or know the sacrifi[G]ce and what it[D] must of cost
[Bm]For him to [G]love me that[A] much.

[D]Well, it had been two years,
And I [D]held back my tears
When I [G]saw him in that wheel chair on [D]the shore.
And as I [D]ran and held him tight,
That's when he [D]looked me in the eye
And said I'm [Bm]sorry that you [Asus4]have to push me [G]home.
And I said hey[D], this is wh[Asus4]at brothers [D]are for.
