Blue October – For My Brother (Ukulele)

Am                       C
You're simply saying everything if you will

       G                                Am C
Take a pen and write my name on a friend

            G
Who never cared to let me in

Am               C
And take a vast revine that for

G         
Three years swimmin' straight upstream

         Am              C
And the wind...the wind won't drag me down the end

Am         C   
You live inside my wall and I

     G                                            Am C
I reach back, hit you harder than God falls

         G
Christ, Amen, Amen, Amen

 Am            C                G                
You're such a line to break and I

                                                                               Am      C
I'm so scared to make another mistake in the end

       G                   D    Am
But I just wanna be happy again Oh!

              C   
Until it all falls down

                       D
And where does that leave me?

        G                                        D
Well, things, things, I've got so many things to say

              C                    D   
And with a broken heart, and a straight face

             (D)  Ring
I'm sayin' Brother, help me

Am             C
It's just a natural phase that I

   G
I go through and then it's taken away

          Am        C    G
And then BAM! BAM! I'm fixed

                   Am                      C
Yeah, and I'm in another place to be where I

    G
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so

Am     C         G
So damned sick

           D                    Am
Take this song, take this song away

          C
Until it all falls down

                          D    
And where does that leave me?

         G                                        D
Well, things, things, I've got so many things to say

             C                           D
And with a broken heart and a straight face

                           G
And he says Reach for the girl

                                  D   
Reach for the girl and hold her close

                  C             
Believe you can shine when you're silver

                    D
And I promise you gold; I promise you gold

                      G
And whenever you're dark inside

           D
Don't let go; no, don't let go

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

                G 
And remember I love you the same

         D
And he tells me to sing

           C      Hold
For my brother who keeps me sane

                 D     Hold          G D C G D
And tells me everything will be OK. 

(D)          G                 D
Oh, I'm so alone God, I'm so alone

         C              G
I'm so alone I'm alone Yeah!
