Dean Brody - Brothers

capo on 1st fret to fit with recording .

D
the house was like a tomb .
D
i was hiding in my room .
G D
as my brother made his way on down the hall .
D
i didn’t want to say goodbye .
D G
and i was trying to deny there was a war ,
D
and that he got the call .
Bm
i watched him from my window
G
walking down the drive .
D
then i ran down the stairway
A
through the front door and i cried

D
you come back you hear?
G
and i let him see my tears
D A
i said i’ll give you my rookie of dimaggio .
D
i’ll do anything you want ,
G
clean your room , or wash your car .
D Asus4 G
i’ll do anything so long as you don’t go .
D Asus4 D
but he said , this is what brothers are for .

D
well i have my heroes ,
D
but the one i love the most
G D
taught me how to hunt and swing a bat .
D
and i wrote him every night ,
D
i said i miss our pillow fights ,
G D
but lately i just wonder where you’re at .
Bm G
sometimes freedom makes it hard to live .
D A
when it takes things from you that you don’t want to give .

D
i said you come back you hear?
G
i miss you being near .
D A
laugh and fish down in the maple grove
D
i’ll do anything you want .
G
there must be someone i can call ,
D Asus4 G
and just maybe they would let you come back home .
D Asus4 D
but he wrote , this is what brothers are for .

A G D
i may never have to face the anger of those guns ,
A G D
or lie cold and wounded in my blood ,
A G D
or know the sacrifice and what it must of cost
Bm G A
for him to love me that much .

D
well , it had been two years ,
D
and i held back my tears
G D
when i saw him in that wheel chair on the shore .
D
and as i ran and held him tight ,
D
that’s when he looked me in the eye
Bm Asus4 G
and said i’m sorry that you have to push me home .
D Asus4 D
and i said hey , this is what brothers are for .
