Blue October – For My Brother (Guitar)

Am                      C                      G
--- It would simply say everything if you would take a pen and write my name on a friend

Am        C              G
----------- who never cared to let me in.

Am              C                   G
--- Then take a fast ravine that for three years swimming straight upstream and

    Am   C                       G
The wind, the wind will drag me down in the end.

Am             C                  G
--- You live inside my wall and I, I reach back, hit your harder than God...

Am       C             G
Falls; ----- Christ, Amen, Amen, Amen.

Am                C                     G
--- You're such a line to break and I'm, I'm so scared to make another mistake

       Am      C        G
In the end, ------- but I just want to be happy...

      D       Em            C                                   D
... again, ahhhh.  Until it all falls down, and where does that leave me?

     D                                           Em
With things, things, I've got so many things to say

           C                    D                      **
And with a broken heart and a straight face, I'm saying, "brother, help me"

Am              C                    G
--- It's just a natural phase that I, I go through and then it's taken away and then...

Am         C          G
bam, bam, I'm fixed. (fixed, fixed, fixed...)

Am                 C                   G
And I'm in another place to be where I, I can't sleep without the thought of me being

Am       C             G
So, so damn sick. (I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick) But take this...

D                     Em           C                                  D
Song, take this song away until it all falls down and where does that leave me?

     D                                           Em
With things, things, I've got so many things to say

           C                     D
And with a broken heart and a straight face

                            D                                     Em
And he says "reach for the girl, reach for the girl and hold her close.

                 C                                          D
Believe you can shine when you're silver, and I promise you gold. I promise you gold.

                     D                     Em
And whenever you're dark inside, don't let go. No, don't let go.

                  C                                           D
Remember there's rain and there's candy and Christmasy winter snow.

                D
And remember I love you the same and I'll strangle your pain"

        Em
And he tells me to sing, and I sing, and I sing

        C                       **            D
For my brother who keeps me sane and tells me everything will be...

 G   D   Em   C
ok. (da da da da da)

  G              D                  Em                   C
Yeah.... I'm so alone. God, I'm so alone (I'm so alone) Alone.

 G
Yeah
