Brother

Intro:   Am   F   C

Am       F              C
Brother, why'd you have to go? 
Am       F      C
You left us all so soon 
Am            F            C                 G
Remember that song I wrote about your family years ago? 
Am                     F               C
Well, they're waiting for you to come home 
Am            F             C                    G
What do I do, what do I say when dad tells me to pray 
Am                     F             C        G
So I prayed and prayed that the hurt won't go away 
       Am             F           C
The pain gets worse, it never stops 
                        G
And I've asked the Lord for us to swap 
Am                F            C
I begged him plea cuz you have kids to feed

Why is it always stormy weather? 
Am       F       C             G
And brother, tell me if it all gets better? 
Am                 F
Why did you leave? Why did you die? 
C                     G
You finally made your brother cry 
Am           F                C      G
I know you're watching over us tonight 
Am         F                       C
And I hope you're watching over us tonight 

Am        F             C
I'm sorry I missed your call 
Am       F         C
I wasn't there for you at all 
Am        F                   C          G
And now I thought it through, maybe if I answered you 
Am        F             C
You would still be here all alone 
Am                 F              C                       G
Now no more calls, can't you see? I took for granted family 
Am                     F                     C      G
And once they're gone, you'll never get that back 
Am              F             C
No more laughs, no more hugs 
              G
So hold on to the ones you love 
Am                 F           C
Your soul is free, I love you, Anthony!
