Bm              Em        F#m
You should have called me brother

Bm              Em         G
You should have been real close

Bm              Em       F#m
But you knew I loved you brother

Bm              Em        G
Enough to take over your post
[Chorus]
  D           G          Bm
I guess it's always with me

When I step on the runway I always will see

I didn't mean you no harm

And I couldn't reach the alarm
