[Intro] G Am F C G C [Verse 1]
G                Am           F
 I saw some old friends as I came to the city gate

Fm               C          F      G
 They asked me where I'd been of late

G                 Am         Em                F    C
 I hadn't been anywhere but what was I going to say

                F                       G
 Two hopeful people looking at me that way
[Chorus]
                 C
 You and your brother

      F
 You both escaped the curse

       C          G              C
 You can't comprehend what it's like
[Verse 2]
G                   Am                                F
 We stood in the sunlight and they asked me where I'd been

Fm                      C          F     G
 Held the gate open - told me to come on in

G                      Am       Em                 F     C
 I saw the damp green grass so nice on the other side

                    F          G
 Couldn't explain myself to them but I tried
[Chorus]
                 C
 You and your brother

      F
 You both escaped the curse

       C          G              C
 You can't comprehend what it's like
[Solo] C Dm Am F C [Verse 3]
G                     Am         F
Ground was dry but giving, the sky was nearly black

Fm               C             F      G
Saw some old friends when I looked back

G                  Am    Em               F  C
 Remember my old home, haven't forgotten yet

           F           G
 What happens on the day when I forget
[Chorus]
                 C
 You and your brother

      F
 You both escaped the curse

       C          G              C
 You can't comprehend what it's like
[Outro] G Am F C G C
